  • DELETION MUTANTS OF FLAGELLIN AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20110135680
    Abstract: Compositions that include Toll-like Receptor 5 agonists and at least a portion of at least one viral antigen can be employed in methods that stimulate an immune response in a subject, in particular, a protective immune response in a subject. Compositions can be associated with particles and employed in the methods in relatively low doses to provide protective immunity to viral infection.

  • POLYPEPTIDES FOR INDUCING A PROTECTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
    Publication number: 20100203588
    Abstract: The present invention features polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence structurally related to SEQ ID NO: 1 or a fragment thereof, S. aureus AhpC-AhpF compositions, and uses of such polypeptides and compositions. SEQ ID NO: 1 has a full length S. aureus AhpC sequence. A derivative of SEQ ID NO: 1 containing an amino His-tag and three additional carboxylamino acids was found to produce a protective immune response against S. aureus.
