  • SMALL CATIONIC ANTI-BIOFILM AND IDR PEPTIDES
    Publication number: 20190315823
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to peptides and more specifically to anti-biofilm and immunomodulatory peptides.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 24, 2019
    Publication date: October 17, 2019
    Applicant: The University of British Columbia
    Inventors: Robert E.W. Hancock, Cesar de la Fuente Nunez, Jason Kindrachuk, Havard Jenssen, Joerg Overhage, Evan Haney
  • IMMUNOMODULATORY COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING DISEASE WITH MODIFIED HOST DEFENSE PEPTIDES
    Publication number: 20170190755
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modulating an immune response in a vertebrate subject. Compositions and methods can comprise administering a modified host defense peptide to the vertebrate subject in an amount effective to activate the immune response in the vertebrate subject, wherein the modified host defense peptide is inverted in amino acid sequence from an amino terminus to a carboxy terminus or modified to one or more D-amino acids, or both modifications, when compared to a host defense peptide. Compositions and methods are provided which comprise administering a modified host defense peptide to the vertebrate subject in an amount effective to modify an immune response in the vertebrate subject.
    Type: Application

  • Combination adjuvant formulation
    Patent number: 9408908
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing an immune response to a selected antigen are described. The methods are useful for the treatment and prevention of microbial infections, such as infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. The methods and compositions include host defense peptides, polyphosphazenes and immunostimulatory sequences to enhance the immune response to a coadministered antigen.
