  • Compositions including beta-glucans and method of use
    Patent number: 10166289
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to soluble beta-glucan compositions and method of using such compositions. In one aspect, an adjuvant for a pharmaceutical composition is described which includes a soluble beta-glucan and a TLR agonist, each in an amount that, in combination with the other, is effective to increase a subject's immune response to an antigen. In another aspect, compositions that generally include an antigen component, a soluble beta-glucan component, and a TLR agonist component and a method that generally includes administering to a subject a composition that comprises a soluble beta-glucan and a TLR agonist, each in an amount that, in combination with the other, is effective to increase a subject's immune response to an antigen, are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2019
    Assignee: Biothera, Inc.
    Inventors: Keith B. Gorden, Nandita Bose, Anissa S. H. Chan, William J. Grossman
  • Beta-glucan in combination with anti-cancer agents affecting the tumor microenvironment
    Patent number: 10111901
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the combination of soluble ?-glucan and anti-cancer agents that affect the tumor microenvironment. Soluble ?-glucan promotes an immunostimulatory environment, which allows enhanced effectiveness of anti-cancer agents.

    Date of Patent: October 9, 2018
    Assignee: Biothera, Inc.
    Inventors: Nandita Bose, Anissa S. H. Chan
  • BETA-GLUCAN COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20180256738
    Abstract: Described herein are beta-glucan compounds, compositions, and methods. Generally, the methods exploit the observation that beta-glucan compounds can bind to B cells. Thus, the methods generally include administering a beta-glucan compound to a subject in an amount effective for the beta-glucan compound to bind to a B cell and modulate at least one biological function of the B cell.
