  • Neisserial vaccine compositions and methods
    Patent number: 7157245
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment of microbial infection, and in particular meningococcal disease, comprise a commensal Neisseria or an extract of a commensal Neisseria. Further methods and compositions comprise commensal Neisseria which express genes from virulent strains of Neisseria and/or heterologous gene products from non-neisserial sources. Such compositions are used in vaccine preparations for the treatment of microbial infection.

  • Pathogenic and commensal vaccine antigens
    Publication number: 20040265328
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening commensal and pathogenic bacteria for previously unidentified vaccine antigens, based upon identifying polypeptide antigens that bind to sera raised against commensal bacterial proteins. Also provided are vaccine compositions and methods of preparing vaccine compositions comprising the antigens identified by the screening methods. Antigens and uses thereof are also described.
