  • Patent number: 8715688
    Abstract: Described is a method for identification, isolation and production of hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens from a specific pathogen, a tumor, an allergen or a tissue or host prone to auto-immunity, said antigens being suited for use in a vaccine for a given type of animal or for humans, which is characterized by the following steps: providing an antibody preparation, providing at least one expression library, identifying antigens which bind, screening the identified antigens, identifying the hyperimmune serum-reactive antigen portion of said identified antigens and which hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens bind to a relevant portion of said individual antibody optionally isolating said hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens and producing said hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens by chemical or recombinant methods.

  • Patent number: 8323660
    Abstract: Described is a method for identification, isolation and production of hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens from a specific pathogen, a tumor, an allergen or a tissue or host prone to autoimmunity, said antigens being suited for use in a vaccine for a given type of animal or for humans, which is characterized by the following steps:—providing an antibody preparation from a plasma pool of said given type of animal or from a human plasma pool or individual sera with antibodies against said specific pathogen, tumor, allergen or tissue or host prone to auto-immunity,—providing at least one expression library of said specific pathogen, tumor, allergen or tissue or host prone to auto-immunity,—screening said at least one expression library with said antibody preparation,—identifying antigens which bind in said screening to antibodies in said antibody preparation,—screening the identified antigens with individual antibody preparations from individual sera from individuals with antibodies against said specific pathogen
