  • Publication number: 20180311340
    Abstract: The present invention relates to certain polyphenol(s) having adjuvant property that can be used for the vaccine preparation. Also, the current invention provides adjuvant system comprising said polyphenol(s) and delivery system such as an immunostimulating reconstituted influenza virosomes (IRIVs). The present invention illustrates the said polyphenol(s) or an adjuvant system comprising of such polyphenol(s) and IRIVs can provide better level of immune response against antigen of interest than conventional vaccine systems. The preferred polyphenol according to the present invention can be beta-sitosterol. Beta-sitosterol can be optionally combined with the known adjuvant(s) to enhance immune response.

  • Publication number: 20170296638
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a preparation of an adjuvant system to achieve required level of humoral and cellular immune response against antigen of interest. The current invention provides an adjuvant system comprising an immunostimulating reconstituted influenza virosomes (IRIVs) and immunopotentiators. The current invention illustrates that an antigen is adsorbed or incorporated into IRIVs and further formulated with lipophilic adjuvant such as MPL or glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant (synthetic analogue of MPL).

  • Patent number: 9623098
    Abstract: The present invention relates to combined vaccines against measles and human papilloma virus (HPV). In particular, the invention relates to recombinant measles virus vectors containing heterologous nucleic acid encoding single or several antigens derived from HPV, preferably, the major capside antigen L1, the minor capside antigen L2, the early gene E6 and the early gene E7 oncoproteins of HPV type 16, and optionally of types 18, 6 and 11. In a first embodiment, prophylactic vaccines are generated expressing HPV antigens, preferably L1 and/or L2 such that they induce a potent long-lasting immune response in mammals, preferably humans, to protect against HPV and MV infection. In another embodiment, therapeutic vaccines are generated expressing E6 and E7 proteins, and optionally L1 and L2, such that they induced strong immune responses will resolve persistent HPV infections at early or late stages, including HPV-induced cervical carcinoma.

  • Patent number: 9308250
    Abstract: A combined measles-malaria vaccine containing different attenuated recombinant measles-malaria vectors comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encoding several Plasmodium falciparum antigens is described. Preferably, it relates to viral vectors that comprise nucleic acids encoding the circumsporozoite (CS) protein of P. falciparum, the merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-1) of P. falciparum, and its derivatives (p-42; p-83-30-38) in its glycosylated and secreted forms, and apical membrane antigen1 (AMA1) of P. falciparum, in its anchored or secreted form. The viral vector stems from an attenuated measles virus, based on a strain that is used as a vaccine and is efficient in delivering the gene of interest and that binds to and infects the relevant immune cells efficiently.
