  • Patent number: 10213501
    Abstract: The technology provided herein relates to novel malaria vaccines composed of different recombinant proteins, in particular recombinant fusion proteins comprising several different Plasmodium falciparum antigens from the pre-erythrocytic, the blood, and the sexual parasite main stages. The proteins may be used in a mixture vaccine formulation to elicit protective immune responses in humans. Nucleic acid molecules encoding said recombinant proteins, vectors and host cells containing the nucleic acids and methods for preparation and producing such proteins are also disclosed, as well as antibodies induced or generated by the use of said malaria vaccines and the use of such antibodies or recombinant derivatives for passive immunotherapy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2019
    Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.

  • Patent number: 10131697
    Abstract: The technology provided herein generally relates to novel fusion proteins suitable as human and/or animal vaccines against parasites or pathogens of the phylum Apicomplexa. In particular, the present disclosure relates to novel fusion proteins as a basis for vaccines against Plasmodium parasites, including P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. knowlesi. Nucleic acid molecules encoding said fusion proteins, vectors, host cells containing the nucleic acids and methods for preparation and producing such fusion proteins; antibodies induced or generated by the use of said fusion proteins or said nucleic acid molecules encoding said fusion proteins and the use of such antibodies or recombinant derivatives for passive immunotherapy; methods for producing such fusion proteins; compositions and methods for using such fusion proteins for the prevention and treatment of malaria are also encompassed by the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20180311326
    Abstract: The technology provided herein relates to a novel type of recombinant protein complexes, in particular of antibody-like recombinant fusion protein complexes, hereinafter referred to as immunoassemblins (IAs), suitable as animal and human vaccines comprising a plurality of antigens or antigen domains derived from proteins preferably, but not necessarily presented on the surface of a pathogen. Nucleic acid molecules encoding said recombinant proteins, vectors, host cells containing the nucleic acids and methods for preparation and producing such proteins and protein complexes; antibodies induced or generated by the use of said vaccines or said nucleic acid molecules encoding said fusion proteins and the use of such antibodies or recombinant derivatives for passive immunotherapy.
