Patent number: 12076397Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising emulsion adjuvant and one or more active agents or substances formulated for infusion or injection into a subject (e.g., using a syringe and needle), as well as methods of formulating and using the same (e.g., as an injectable medicinal composition (e.g., a vaccine)). The emulsion adjuvant of an immunogenic composition of the invention in its preferred form comprises a cationic lipid containing a polar head group and a hydrophobic component (e.g., a dual chain hydrophobic group (e.g., the cationic surfactant dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DODAC) and dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium bromine (DODAB))). Compositions of the invention comprising emulsion adjuvant and one or more active agents or substances formulated for administration via injection to a subject find use in treatment and/or prevention of infectious disease, cancer and/or allergy.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, BLUEWILLOW BIOLOGICS, INC.Inventors: James R.

Publication number: 20220282657Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the stimulation of immune responses. In particular, the invention provides methods and compositions for enhancing an immune response to one or more antigens. Compositions and methods of the invention are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of microbial infections, such as infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, as well as the treatment and/or prevention of cancer and malignant diseases. Compositions and methods of the invention include one or more antigens/immunogens together with an adjuvant formulation comprising an emulsion delivery system in combination with one or more immunostimulatory compounds (e.g., a compound that stimulates the innate immune system (e.g., a toll-like receptor antagonist (e.g., synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN)))) that enhance immune responses to the one or more antigens/immunogens when administered to a subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicants: The Regents of the University of Michigan, NanoBio CorporationInventors: James R.
