  • COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING PNEUMOCOCCAL ANTIGENS
    Publication number: 20140348868
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various combinations of pneumococcal polypeptides for use in immunisation. Also disclosed herein are pneumococcal polypeptides that may be useful as single antigens. These polypeptides may optionally be used in combination with pneumococcal saccharides. The antigens may be used in pneumococcal vaccines, but may also be used as components in vaccines for immunising against multiple pathogens.
    Type: Application

  • Combinations of pneumococcal RrgB clades
    Patent number: 8609106
    Abstract: Pneumococcal pilus subunit RrgB has at least three clades. Serum raised against a given clade is active against pneumococci which express that RrgB clade, but is not active against strains which express one of the other two clades i.e. there is intra-clade cross-protection, but not inter-clade cross-protection. Thus an immunogenic composition can include at least two different clades of RrgB to improve strain coverage against pilus-containing pneumococci. These multiple clades may be present in the immunogenic composition as separate polypeptides or may be fused as a single polypeptide chain.
