  • Patent number: 8236320
    Abstract: Provided are methods for stimulating an immune response to an antigen by administering a composition to an individual in an amount effective to stimulate an immune response to the antigen. The stimulated immune response to the antigen is greater than the immune response stimulated by the antigen in the absence of CA9 protein. The compositions provided contain a complex that includes an antigen and an isolated CA9 protein.

  • Patent number: 8080388
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a stress protein complex and related molecules encoding or cells presenting such a complex are provided. The stress protein complex comprises an hsp110 or grp170 polypeptide complexed with an immunogenic polypeptide. The immunogenic polypeptide of the stress protein complex can be associated with a cancer or an infectious disease. Preferred immunogenic polypeptides include gp100, her2/neu ECD-PD, ICD and M. tuberculosis antigens. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be used for the treatment or prevention of cancer or infectious disease.

  • Patent number: 7976846
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a stress protein complex and related molecules encoding or cells presenting such a complex are provided. The stress protein complex comprises an hsp110 or grp170 polypeptide complexed with an immunogenic polypeptide. The immunogenic polypeptide of the stress protein complex can be associated with a cancer or an infectious disease. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be administered to a subject, thereby providing methods for inhibiting M. tuberculosis-infection, for inhibiting tumor growth, for inhibiting the development of a cancer, and for the treatment or prevention of infectious disease. The invention further provides a method for producing T cells directed against a tumor cell or a M. tuberculosis-infected cell, wherein a T cell is contacted with an APC that is modified to present an hsp110 or grp170 polypeptide and an immunogenic polypeptide associated with a tumor or with the M. tuberculosis-infected cell.
