Patent number: 11273127Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for novel compositions and methods for making and using a thermally stable human papilloma virus (HPV) formulation or other stabilized multimeric virus formulation. Certain embodiments concern lyophilizing HPV formulations in the presence or absence of adjuvants. Other embodiments concern lypophilizing HPV capsomere vaccines in order to increase stability of an immunogenic composition against HPV infection for storage, delivery and use. In yet other embodiments, a single immunogenic composition can include a thermally stable formulation of multiple virus serotypes. Yet other embodiments disclosed herein concern multi-targeted antigen complexes lyophilized in formulations of use to prolong stability and/or enhance immunogenicity. Other embodiments concern exposing lyophilized multi-targeted antigen complexes to elevated temperatures to enhance immunogenicity of the antigens of the complex to multiple pathogens.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, A BODY CORPORATEInventors: Theodore Randolph, Robert Garcea

Patent number: 11261416Abstract: We have modified a commercially-available adherent cell culture bioreactor in several ways to increase productivity of cultured cells, while decreasing contamination risk. We found that modifying a commercially-available adherent cell culture bioreactor to provide for slower cell culture medium flow unexpectedly and dramatically increases the productivity of the cultured adherent cells. We also developed a new sampling manifold configuration and new way of taking samples, to reduce contamination risk.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Trizell Ltd.Inventors: Piia Kristiina Valonen, Hanna P. Lesch, Eva Kristiina Rasanen, Tarja Hannele Tuunanen, Minna Kristiina Karhinen, Seppo Yla-Herttuala
