  • Patent number: 9669088
    Abstract: H5N1 influenza viruses isolated from animals and humans since 2003 separate into distinct clades based on hemagglutinin amino acid sequences. According to the invention, multiple clades are used in influenza immunization. Thus there is a prime-boost immunization schedule where a subject receives a priming dose of a first clade of H5 influenza A virus and a boosting dose of a second clade of H5 influenza A virus. There is also an immunogenic composition comprising hemagglutinin antigens from more than one clade of H5 influenza A virus.

  • Patent number: 9579372
    Abstract: fHBP is a protein in Neisseria meningitidis. Three families of fHBP are known. To increase the ability of a fHBP protein to elicit antibodies that are cross-reactive between the families, fHBP is selected or engineered to have a sequence which can elicit broad-spectrum bactericidal anti-meningococcal antibodies after administration to a host animal.

  • Patent number: 9421251
    Abstract: Booster immunization can lead to rapid induction of protective immunity against pathogens (e.g. ?7 days after the booster dose). This rapid response means that booster immunization can be used at short notice prior to an event that might require an activated immune response. For instance, a subject can be primed at a young age against a pathogen that typically affects more elderly subjects under specific circumstances such that, when the subject is older, the immune response can be mobilized rapidly if those specific circumstances are expected. An example would be to prime a subject against infections that are typically acquired nosocomially and then, soon before a scheduled hospital appointment, to boost their immune response so that they enter hospital in an immune-alert state.

  • Publication number: 20160082098
    Abstract: A composition comprising (a) Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), and (b) an immunogenic component selected from other Neisseria proteins, or immunogenic fragments thereof. Component (b) preferably includes a protein from a different NmB strain from that from which the OMV of component (a) is derived. The OMVs are preferably obtained by deoxycholate extraction. Optionally, the composition may also comprise a protective antigen against other pathogens.
