Patent number: 10364298Abstract: A novel lipoteichoic acid (LTA) was isolated from C. difficile, the structure of which is illustrated below wherein n is an integer between 1 and 20, R3 and R4 are independently selected from C 14:0, C 16:0, C 16:1, C 18:0 or C18:1 fatty acid or any combination thereof wherein one of COR3 or COR4 may be replaced by H. Further described are conjugates comprising the novel LTA and vaccines produced using the isolated LTA and the LTA conjugates. The invention also encompasses methods of conferring immunity against C. difficile comprising administering a vaccine of the invention, and methods of detecting C. difficile using the isolated LTA of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Christopher Reid, Susan M. Logan, Evguenii Vinogradov, Andrew Cox, Jean-Robert Brisson

Patent number: 9144604Abstract: Disclosed are immunogenic conjugates and therapeutic compositions that include such immunogenic conjugates. Also disclosed are methods of treating and/or inhibiting an Shigella sonnei infection. The disclosed immunogenic conjugates have the general structure: Pr—Sr—O—N?C-Kdo-OS wherein Pr is a carrier protein, Sr is an optional spacer moiety, Kdo is an 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid or a derivative thereof, and OS is an oligosaccharide or polysaccharide obtained from S. sonnei. In specific examples, the immunogenic conjugates include the core oligosaccharide obtained from S. sonnei having the structure: wherein R is between 1 and 10 disaccharide repeat units. In specific examples, the disaccharide repeat unit included in the immunogenic conjugate has the structure: ?-L-AltNAcA-3-?-FucNAc4N-4-.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignees: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services, National Research Council of CanadaInventors: John B.
