Publication number: 20230227575Abstract: A therapeutic molecule (single chain-based antibody or ligand-based) optimized for expression and secretion from engineered T cells, which may be gamma delta (gd) T cells. When expressed from engineered gdT cells, the STAR will be secreted and mediate engagement between gdT cells and antigen/receptor on target cells. Binding mediates the formation of a cytolytic synapse between the gdT cell and the target cell leading to activation the gdT cells to release proteolytic enzymes that kill target cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Harrison Brown, Brian Petrich, Gabriela Denning, John Kolb, Bing Yu, David Schofield

Publication number: 20100136060Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an immunogenic composition that comprises a salmonella antigen for treatment of several clinical manifestations (diseases). Preferably, the clinical manifestations are associated with a PCV2 infection, even more preferably PCVAD. The use relates to a method comprising the steps of administering the composition to an animal in need thereof, preferably prior to disease exposure. Administration of salmonella antigen, preferably a salmonella vaccine, lessens the incidence and reduces the severity of PCVAD.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2007Publication date: June 3, 2010Applicant: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM VETMEDICA, INC.Inventor: John Kolb
