  • Method of stimulating an immune response
    Patent number: 9737594
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of stimulating an immune response to an antigenic molecule, by contacting a cell with the antigenic molecule and with a photosensitizing agent, irradiating the cell, and thereby presenting the antigenic molecule, or part thereof, on the surface of said cell and stimulating an immune response.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: PCI Biotech AS
    Inventors: Kristian Berg, Torunn E. Tjelle, Anders Hogset, Lina Prasmickaite
  • METHOD OF VACCINATION
    Publication number: 20130330363
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of expressing an antigenic molecule or a part thereof on the surface of an antigen-presenting cell, said method comprising introducing a molecule into the cell cytosol by photochemical internalisation, wherein said molecule, or a part thereof, is subsequently presented on the surface of said cell. Methods of vaccination comprising this method, together with compositions comprising said cells and uses involving said cells expressing antigenic molecules are also provided.

  • Photochemical internalization for delivery of molecules into the cytosol
    Patent number: 8008077
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for introducing a molecule into the cytosol of a cell in which the cell is contacted with a photosensitising agent, the cell is irradiated with light of a wavelength effective to activate the photosensitising agent and, substantially at the same time or after the irradiation, the cell is contacted with the molecule to be introduced, particularly for use in cancer treatment, gene therapy and vaccination.
