  • Publication number: 20190022210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel DNA vaccines, configured to induce a robust and sustained immune response, and methods of use thereof. DNA vaccines proposed herein are configured to achieve this immune response by fusing the extracellular domain of a viral fusion protein to selected antigens or antigen-binding polypeptides. After the expression and secretion of the viral fusion-antigen protein from the initially transfected cells, the natural ability of the viral fusion protein to fuse to cell membranes and actively enter cells will allow for passive delivery of the fused target epitopes into neighboring cells, thus inducing a more robust immune response.

  • Publication number: 20180071380
    Abstract: The present application relates to immunogenic compositions comprising a mixture of Bordetella (e.g., B. pertussis) antigens and an oil in water nanoemulsion. In particular, the invention provides immunogenic compositions comprising nanoemulsion and a combination of Bordetella (e.g., B. pertussis) antigens that have different functions, for example, combinations including B. pertussis adherence factors (adhesins), B. pertussis toxins or B. pertussis virulence factors. Vaccines, methods of treatment, uses of and processes to make a pertussis or whooping cough vaccine are also described. Compositions and methods of the present invention find use in, among other things, clinical (e.g. therapeutic and preventative medicine (e.g., vaccination)) and research applications.
