Abstract: Compositions containing a nucleic acid nanostructure having a desired geometric shape and immunostimulatory agent(s) bound to its surface are provided. The nanostructures can be, for example, in the form of a 6-helix bundle, or icosahedron, or a pentagonal bipyramid. The nanostructure design allows for control of the relative position and/or stoichiometry of the immunostimulatory agent(s) bound to its surface. The immunostimulatory agent(s) displayed on the nanostructure surface are arranged with the preferred number, spacing, and 3D organization to elicit a robust immune response. The displayed antigen can be a TLR agonist, such as a TLR9 agonist. The immunostimulatory compositions may thus be useful as immunogens, vaccines, adjuvants, and the like. Methods of inducing immune responses, and for targeted induction of TLR activation are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides immunomodulatory fusion proteins-metal hydroxide complexes comprising an immunomodulatory domain adsorbed to a metal hydroxide via ligand exchange. The disclosure also features compositions and methods of using the same, for example, to treat cancer.

The antigens displayed on the nanostructure surface are arranged with the preferred number, spacing, and 3D organization to elicit a robust immune response. The displayed antigen can be an HIV immunogen such as eOD-GT6, eOD-GT8, or variants thereof. The compositions may thus be useful as immunogens, vaccines, immunostimulators, adjuvants, and the like. Methods of inducing immune responses, inducing protective immunity, inducing the production of neutralizing antibodies or inhibitory antibodies, inducing tolerance, and treating cancer, infectious or autoimmune diseases are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for coupling an antigen to an adjuvant, immunogenic compositions and vaccines. The methods of the invention can be used to increase an immune response, or to treat cancer or an infectious disease.
