  • Patent number: 10124049
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated polypeptide antigen of Acinetobacter baumannii, comprising at least an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) SEQ ID NOs: 1-5; (b) an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, 4 or 5; (c) an amino acid sequence having at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 2; and (d) a fragment of the amino acid sequence according to (a) to (c); wherein the polypeptide having the amino acid sequence according to (b) to (d) has immunostimulatory activity. The universal polypeptide antigens of Acinetobacter baumannii can be used in the universal vaccine preparation. The corresponding antibodies can be used in the diagnostic and treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii.

  • Patent number: 9163232
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a recombinant polyclonal protein composition, in particular a recombinant polyclonal antibody composition. The method comprises obtaining a collection of cells transfected with a library of variant nucleic acid sequences, wherein each call in the collection is transfected with and capable of expressing one member of the library, which encodes a distinct member of a polyclonal protein that binds a particular antigen and which is located at the same single site in the genome of individual cells in said collection, wherein said nucleic acid sequence is not naturally associated with said cell in the collection. The cells are cultured under suitable conditions for expression of the polyclonal protein, which is obtained from the cells or culture supernatant. The present method is suitable for manufacturing recombinant polyclonal antibodies, thereby making available a superior replacement of plasma-derived therapeutic immunoglobulin products.
