  • Cellular and viral inactivation
    Patent number: 8613934
    Abstract: The invention involves inactivation of viral populations by treating the viral populations with a compound to crosslink proteins in the viral membrane, UV irradiation and further inactivation of the viruses using detergent(s). According to the invention, this method preserves the native structure of viral epitopes so that the inactivated viral preparations can be used in immunological compositions that will inhibit and/or prevent viral infection when administered to an animal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 24, 2013
    Assignee: The United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services
    Inventors: Yossef Raviv, Julie M. Belanger, Mathias Viard, Robert Blumenthal, Julian W. Bess, Jr.
  • Inactivated influenza virus compositions
    Patent number: 8278083
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions of inactivated influenza virus that can be used as vaccines and immunological compositions useful for inhibiting, preventing and treating influenza.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2012
