Abstract: The invention provides a nutritional supplement and/or pharmaceutical composition for tableting comprising an embedded lubrication matrix. The embedded lubrication matrix comprises an oily liquid finely dispersed in an oil insoluble material. A method of lubricating a nutritional supplement or pharmaceutical composition for tableting using a matrix with embedded lubrication is also provided.

Abstract: This invention provides a nutritional supplement composition which is a vitamin mint that can be taken anytime or anywhere without water or other liquid which is usually required for swallowing a tablet. The present invention is a nutritional supplement composition which is a convenient, flavorful and enjoyable vitamin mint which can be ingested without water.

Abstract: The circumsporozoite (CS) protein of Plasmodium falciparum has been analyzed to develop a new anti-sporozoite malarial vaccine. Localization of sites for T-cell recognition on this molecule is critical for vaccine design. By using an algorithm designed to predict T-cell sites and a large panel of H-2 congenic mice, a major nonrepetitive T-cell was located. When a synthetic peptide corresponding to this site was covalently linked to the major B-cell site on the molecule, an immunogen capable of eliciting a high titer antibody response was formed. This peptide sequence is capable of priming helper T-cells for a secondary response to the intact CS protein. This site represents the first helper T-cell site described for the CS molecule outside of the repetitive region, and is a major immunodominant T-site on the molecule. The approach described herein is useful in the rational design and construction of more efficacious vaccines.
