  • Publication number: 20250049904
    Abstract: The present application is directed to immunomodulatory compositions comprising invariant NKT cell (iNKT cell) agonist compounds that induce expansion of tissue resident memory T-cells (Trm Cells) in combination with an immune stimulator agent that enhances an immune response to a target antigen or a polynucleotide encoding the immune stimulator. The iNKT agonists are ?-GalCer analogue compounds modified at the 6 position of the galactose ring. The immune stimulator is an antigen or an mRNA encoding an antigen to create a vaccine formulation. These combinations are used in the treatment of infection or cancer in a subject, or to enrich the number of Trm cells in the liver of a subject.

  • Publication number: 20070110700
    Abstract: Shampoo compositions comprise (a) from about 5% to about 50% of one or more detersive surfactants, by weight of the shampoo composition; (b) a dispersed gel network phase comprising, by weight of the shampoo composition, (i) at least about 0.05% of one or more fatty amphiphiles; (ii) at least about 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants; and (iii) water; and (c) at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier, by weight of the shampoo composition. A process for preparing a shampoo composition comprises the steps of: (a) combining a fatty amphiphile, a secondary surfactant, and water at a temperature sufficient to allow partitioning of the secondary surfactant and the water into the fatty amphiphile to form a pre-mix; (b) cooling the pre-mix below the chain melt temperature of the fatty amphiphile to form a gel network; (c) adding the gel network to one or more detersive surfactants and an aqueous carrier to form a shampoo composition.

  • Publication number: 20070110696
    Abstract: Shampoo compositions comprise (a) from about 5% to about 50% of one or more detersive surfactants; (b) a dispersed gel network phase comprising: (i) at least about 0.05% of one or more fatty amphiphiles; (ii) at least about 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants; and (iii) water; (c) at least about 0.05% of a galactomannan polymer derivative with a net positive charge and having a mannose to galactose ratio of greater than 2:1 on a monomer to monomer basis, wherein the galactomannan polymer derivative has: (i) a molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 10,000,000; and (ii) a cationic charge density from about 0.7 meq/g to about 7 meq/g; and (d) at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier; all by weight of the shampoo composition.
