  • 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016

  • Method of treating oxidative stress by administering compounds comprising serine-rich dipeptides
    Patent number: 8557775
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel serine rich peptides capable of exhibiting antioxidative properties and that can be used to protect a cell, tissues, organs or a multi-cellular organism, such as animals, against oxidative stress. In aspects of the invention, the peptides may be derived from egg yolk proteins utilizing only generally recognized as safe (GRAS) compounds. The invention also relates to cosmetics, functional foods, food supplements or pharmaceutical formulations comprising the peptides of the present invention having antioxidative properties. The cosmetics, functional food or pharmaceutical products are particularly suitable for the care of the skin in protecting against oxidative stress and ageing phenomena.
