  • Patent number: 7270827
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for making and using therapeutic formulations of multivalent hybrid polypeptides comprising immunogenic peptides of M proteins from various different serotypes of group A streptococci and antibodies thereto are provided. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding such hybrid polypeptides. The hybrid polypeptide formulations may be used, for example, in methods for treating or preventing a microbial infection and eliciting a protective immune response having broadly protective opsonic antibodies in the absence of tissue cross-reactive antibodies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2007
    Assignees: University of Tennessee Research Foundation, ID Biomedical Corporation of Washington
    Inventors: Mark A. Reddish, Mary ChaoHong Hu, Michael A. Walls, James B. Dale

  • Patent number: 6600012
    Abstract: A method for generating a mixture of activated T-cells by combining a plurality of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) with an antigen-loaded liposome to produce antigen-loaded PBLs, and combining the antigen-loaded PBLs with a naive, anergic or memory T-cell, to produce an activated T-cell. Such activation is carried out in vivo or in vitro. The antigen-loaded PBLs and activated T-cells, prepared according to the methods of invention, have use as cellular vaccines for treatment of cancer and viral diseases.
