  • Publication number: 20170209562
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of Neisserial immunogenic compositions and vaccines, their manufacture and the use of such compositions in medicine. In particular the present invention relates to compositions and methods involving the factor H binding protein (fHbp) antigen. The present inventors have recognised that fHbp is poorly expressed in neisserial strains of ST269 clonal complex (a subset of strains which seems to be growing in terms of numbers of reported cases of disease attributed to it), and vaccines comprising fHbp may be made more effective against said strains by formulating the vaccine with a further antigen that can elicit protection against these strains.

  • Patent number: 9669083
    Abstract: The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising isolated Clostridium difficile CDTb and/or CDTa protein. In particular the isolated Clostridium difficile CDTb protein is suitably a truncated CDTb protein comprising the receptor binding domain or a mutated CDTb protein incapable of binding to CDTa, and the isolated Clostridium difficile CDTa protein is suitably a truncated CDTa protein which does not comprise the C-terminal domain. In particular the invention also relates to fusion proteins comprising a CDTa protein and a CDTb protein and also fusion proteins between an isolated Clostridium difficile toxin A protein and/or an isolated Clostridium difficile toxin B protein fused to a CDTb protein.
