Patent number: 12186333Abstract: RNA encoding an immunogen is co-delivered to non-immune cells as the site of delivery and also to immune cells which infiltrate the site of delivery. The responses of these two cell types to the same delivered RNA lead to two different effects, which interact to produce a strong immune response against the immunogen. The non-immune cells translate the RNA and express the immunogen. Infiltrating immune cells respond to the RNA by expressing type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines which produce a local adjuvant effect which acts on the immunogen-expressing non-immune cells to upregulate major histocompatibility complex expression, thereby increasing presentation of the translated protein to T cells. The effects on the immune and non-immune cells can be achieved by a single delivery of a single RNA e.g., by a single injection.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SAInventors: Andrew Geall, Katrin Ramsauer, Gillis Otten, Christian Walter Mandl

Publication number: 20240417740Abstract: RNA encoding an immunogen is delivered to a large mammal at a dose of between 2 ?g and 100 ?g. Thus, the invention provides a method of raising an immune response in a large mammal, comprising administering to the mammal a dose of between 2 ?g and 100 ?g of immunogen-encoding RNA. Similarly, RNA encoding an immunogen can be delivered to a large mammal at a dose of 3 ng/kg to 150 ng/kg. The delivered RNA can elicit an immune response in the large mammal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Applicant: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventor: Andrew GEALL

Publication number: 20240300994Abstract: Methods for purifying RNA from a sample, comprising one or more steps of tangential flow filtration, hydroxyapatite chromatography, core bead flow-through chromatography, or any combinations thereof. These techniques are useful individually, but show very high efficiency when used in combination, or when performed in particular orders. The methods can purify RNA in a highly efficient manner without unduly compromising potency or stability, to provide compositions in which RNA is substantially cleared of contaminants. Moreover, they can be performed without the need for organic solvents.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventors: Francesco BERLANDA SCORZA, Yingxia WEN, Andrew GEALL, Frederick PORTER

Publication number: 20240216276Abstract: Nucleic acid immunisation is achieved by delivering RNA encapsulated within a PEGylated liposome. The RNA encodes an immunogen of interest. The PEG has an average molecular mass of between 1 kDa and 3 kDa. Thus the invention provides a liposome having a lipid bilayer encapsulating an aqueous core, wherein: (i) the lipid bilayer campuses at least one lipid which includes a polyethylene glycol moiety, such that polyethylene glycol is present on the liposome's exterior, wherein the average molecular mass of the polyethylene glycol is between 1 kDa and 3 kDa; and (ii) the aqueous core includes a RNA which encodes an immunogen. These liposomes are suitable for in vivo delivery of the RNA to a vertebrate cell and so they are useful as components in pharmaceutical compositions for immunising subjects against various diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2023Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventors: Andrew GEALL, Ayush VERMA

Publication number: 20240115501Abstract: RNA encoding an immunogen is delivered in a liposome for the purposes of immunisation. The liposome includes lipids which have a pKa in the range of 5.0 to 7.6 and, preferably, a tertiary amine. hese liposomes can have essentially a neutral surface charge at physiological pH and are effective for immunisation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventor: Andrew GEALL

Publication number: 20240082329Abstract: This invention generally relates to immunogenic compositions that comprise an RNA component and a polypeptide component. Immunogenic compositions that deliver antigens in two different forms—a first antigen from a pathogen, in RNA-coded form; and a second antigen from a different pathogen, in polypeptide form—are effective in inducing immune response to both pathogens.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventors: Andrew GEALL, Ethan SETTEMBRE

Patent number: 11913001Abstract: Provided is RNA encoding an immunogen is delivered to a large mammal at a dose of from 5 ?g to 100 ?g or at a dose between 0.1 ?g per kilogram body mass of the large mammal and 1.5 ?g per kilogram body mass of the large mammal. Provided is a method of raising an immune response in a large mammal, comprising administering to the large mammal a dose of from 5 ?g to 100 ?g or a dose of between 0.1 ?g of RNA encoding the immunogen per kilogram body mass of the large mammal and 1.5 ?g of RNA encoding the immunogen per kilogram body mass of the large mammal. The delivered RNA can elicit an immune response in the large mammal.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventor: Andrew Geall
