  • NOVEL IMMUNOGENS AND METHODS FOR DISCOVERY AND SCREENING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220378895
    Abstract: The present application is generally directed to methods for identifying immunogens from organisms and pathogens, and in particular for identifying immunogens which when administered as vaccines elicit a cellular and/or humoral immune response. The present application is also directed to pneumococcal T-cell immunogens, and vaccine compositions comprising one or a combination of pneumococcal immunogens and methods for treating or preventing pneumococcal infections using the vaccines thereof. The present invention also encompasses use of the pneumococcal immunogens for diagnostic purposes to identify a subject with a pneumococcal infection.

  • NOVEL IMMUNOGENS AND METHODS FOR DISCOVERY AND SCREENING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20110159040
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides for methods for identifying novel immunogens that when administered as vaccines elicit a cellular or humoral immunogenic response. In a particular embodiment, a method identified pneumococcal T-cell immunogens that elicit systemic IL-17A responses, and reduce or protect against pneumococcal colonization.
