  • Publication number: 20190185520
    Abstract: The subject application provides a genetically modified recombinant facultative intracellular invasive bacterial pathogen (RFIIBP) or a recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccine (RASV) strains encoding Zika virus (ZIKV) antigens. These strains exhibit high immunogenicity, complete safety, and attenuation, and are unable to persist or be shed in an infective or viable form. These RFIIBPs and RASVs also exhibit regulated delayed attenuation in vivo, regulated delayed in vivo synthesis of protective ZIKV antigens. Methods of inducing mucosal, systemic and cellular immunities in hosts are also provided and antibodies produced using the disclosed RFIIBPs and RASVs can comprise neutralizing antibodies against ZIKV that do not crossreact with Dengue virus (DENV).

  • Publication number: 20190185523
    Abstract: A polypeptide having an amino acid sequence corresponding to a binding domain of a botulinum toxin is described. The polypeptide modulates expression of genes involved in, for example, collagen production and extra cellular matrix organization, and finds use, therefore in modulating skin quality attributes such as elasticity, firmness etc. Moreover, the polypeptide inhibits lipogenesis in specialized cells and finds use, therefore, in reducing skin oiliness, which is frequently observed in skin tissue afflicted with large pores and acne. Nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide, as well as vectors, host cells, and systems comprising the nucleic acids, are further described.
