  • Patent number: 10258680
    Abstract: The present application provides a vaccine composition comprising: bacteria engineered to express at least one N-glycan of Campylobacter, such as C. jejuni for example, or an N-glycan derivative thereof on its cell surface; and one or more of a physiologically acceptable diluent, excipient, adjuvant or carrier. The bacteria is Escherichia coli, Salmonella or any suitable bacteria that offers sufficient expression and improved immunogenic response. The vaccine composition can be formulated for administration to animals, such as poultry, including chickens.

  • Patent number: 9221898
    Abstract: An isolated or purified compound is provided, comprising A-GlcNAc[GlcNAc]-GalNAc-GalNAc-QuiNAc4NAc, wherein A is GlcNAc or Glc. There is further provided a vaccine based on such compound, having particular use to treat or prevent an infection caused by a Campylobacter organism. There is also provided an antibody or antisera against the compound, having particular use to diagnose the presence of an infection caused by a Campylobacter organism.

  • Publication number: 20130266604
    Abstract: Described herein is a peptide, referred to as a GlycoTag peptide, that includes repeats of an N-linked glycosylation sequon that is naturally present in C. jejuni. The GlycoTag peptide can be in a purified and isolated form following expression of a construct encoding the GlycoTag peptide or it is, in whole or in part, a synthetic peptide. The GlycoTag peptide is typically used with glycans attached thereto. The GlycoTag peptide can be used alone or in combination with different proteins or peptides and can be incorporated into a chimeric protein or peptide for use in the development of antigen/antibody delivery systems, the preparation of vaccines, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic tests, and research into therapies for countering Campylobacter and other infections.
