  • Patent number: 8367077
    Abstract: The present invention relates to virosomes comprising hemagglutinin (HA) with improved fusion activity. Preferably, the HA comprised in said virosomes was derived from influenza virus produced in a cell line. The present invention also relates to compositions and a kit comprising the virosomes according to the invention. Further, the present invention relates to uses and methods involving said virosomes, as well as to a method for preparing same.

  • Publication number: 20100285109
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a truncated form of the secretory aspartyl proteinase 2 (Sap2), as well as to nucleic acid molecules encoding same. This truncated Sap2 polypeptide (tSap2) is surprisingly stable and devoid of enzymatic activity but retains full immunogenicity upon intravaginal administration and confers full protection against intravaginal challenge by the Candida fungus. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising tSap2 and to the use of tSap2 in the preparation of such compositions.
