  • Compositions and methods for treating influenza
    Patent number: 9603920
    Abstract: The present application provides compositions and methods useful for treating influenza. As described herein, the compositions and methods are based on the development of peptides and peptide combinations which exhibit immunogenic properties against influenza. In some embodiments, the peptide combinations induce a protective response against multiple strains of influenza, e.g., seasonal strains of influenza or even the new pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus of swine origin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2017
    Assignee: Variation Biotechnologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Francisco Diaz-Mitoma, Andrei Ogrel, Jose V. Torres, David E. Anderson

  • Immunogenic formulation and process for preparation thereof
    Publication number: 20020183484
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparation of a immunogenic peptide mixture in a single synthesis. The peptide mixture collectively represents the in vivo variability seen in immunogenic epitopes from a pathogen. The mixture is termed a hypervariable epitope construct (HEC). Immunization with a HEC evokes broadly reactive immunity against divergent strains of a pathogen upon which the HEC is based.
