  • Publication number: 20220395566
    Abstract: The invention provides an immunogenic composition comprising staphylococcal antigens, containing protein antigens and conjugates of capsular polysaccharides. Adjuvanted formulations are also provided. The invention may find use in the prevention and treatment of staphylococcal infections.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Simone BUFALI, Daniela STRANGES, Giovanna CAMPANELLA
  • Patent number: 10842868
    Abstract: The invention improves TdaP vaccines by including a TLR agonist in them. This agonist can provide stronger protection, longer-lasting protection, and/or can reduce the amount of antigen which is required to achieve a particular immune response.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 24, 2020

  • Publication number: 20180318410
    Abstract: Serogroup B meningococcus antigens can successfully be combined with diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis toxoids (“DTP”) to provide effective combination vaccines for protecting against multiple pathogens. These combinations are effective with a range of different adjuvants, and with both pediatric-type and booster-type DTP ratios. The adjuvant can improve the immune response which the composition elicits; alternatively, by including an adjuvant it is possible for the compositions to have a relatively lower amount of antigen while nevertheless having immunogenicity which is comparable to unadjuvanted combination vaccines.

  • Publication number: 20150132339
    Abstract: The efficacy of S. pneumoniae vaccines can be enhanced by adjuvanting S. pneumoniae saccharide and/or protein antigens with a mixture of a TLR agonist (preferably a TLR7 agonist) and an insoluble metal salt (preferably an aluminium salt). The TLR agonist is typically adsorbed to the metal salt. The S. pneumoniae antigen can also be adsorbed to the metal salt.
