  • Multivalent HIV immunogenic compositions comprising a pool of lipidated and nonlipidated peptides representing Gag and Env variable regions
    Patent number: 8029797
    Abstract: An anti-HIV vaccine composition is disclosed. The vaccine comprises an combination of immunogenic peptide mixtures, which mixtures may be prepared in a single synthesis. The composition collectively represents the in vivo variability seen in immunogenic epitopes from highly variable regions of HIV. Immunization with the vaccine elicits broadly reactive immunity (CTL and T helper cell responses) against the divergent strains of HIV upon which it is based. The vaccine may be formulated to target regionally distinct variability based on an HIV clade predominant in a geographical region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2011
    Assignee: Variation Biotechnologies Inc.
    Inventors: José Vidal Torres, David Evander Anderson, Franscisco J. Diaz-Mitoma
  • ANTI-HIV IMMUNOGENIC FORMULATION AND PROCESS FOR PREPARATION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20100121029
    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 an HIV 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.

  • Peptide-Based Influenza Vaccine Formulation
    Publication number: 20090104216
    Abstract: Peptide-based anti-influenza formulations against influenza A and B are disclosed. The peptides are derived from influenza-based epitopes. The formulations are based on peptide mixtures which may be formulated so that variability is present at particular residues. The formulations can be used to prepare vaccines for preventing influenza in human, avian, murine or equine animals.
