The present invention provides compositions and systems for delivery of nanocarriers to cells of the immune system. The invention provides vaccine nanocarriers capable of stimulating an immune response in T cells and/or in B cells, in some embodiments, comprising at least one immunomodulatory agent, and optionally comprising at least one targeting moiety and optionally at least one immunostimulatory agent. The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising inventive vaccine nanocarriers. The present invention provides methods of designing, manufacturing, and using inventive vaccine nanocarriers and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. The invention provides methods of prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions comprising administering at least one inventive vaccine nanocarrier to a subject in need thereof.

The present invention is in the field of pneumococcal capsular saccharide conjugate vaccines. Specifically, a multivalent Streptococcus pneumoniae immunogenic composition is provided with various conjugated capsular saccharides from different S. pneumoniae serotypes conjugated to 2 or more different carrier proteins, where the composition comprises serotype 19F capsular saccharide conjugated to diphtheria toxoid (DT) or CRM197, optionally wherein 19F is the only saccharide in the composition conjugated to diphtheria toxoid (DT) or CRM197.

The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions containing an immunogen and a specific combination of two or more traditional excipients. The excipients in the composition act in combination and enhance immune responses to the immunogen from a subject. The combination of excipients may be used as adjuvant in immunogenic compositions, regardless of route or target of delivery. The compositions can be administered, for example, intradermally, epidermally, transdermally, junctionally, nasally, or subcutaneously.

Disclosed is the use of an antagonist of Interleukin 1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) for the manufacture of a medicament treating, preventing or suppressing lung inflammation or a respiratory disease. In some embodiments of the described invention, the medicament is for local administration to pulmonary tissue. Also disclosed are methods for treating lung inflammation or a respiratory disease.

The present invention relates to a process for stabilizing an adjuvant containing vaccine composition, an adjuvanted vaccine composition in dry form and in particular a process for stabilizing an influenza vaccine composition, particularly an adjuvanted influenza vaccine composition in dry form.

The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods using mammalian, dsDNA (Double Stranded Deoxyribonucleic Acid) vaccination for the induction and maintenance of regulator suppressor T cells resulting in suppression of non infectious, and post infectious, inflammatory, allergic, auto-immune, vasculitic, certain degenerative vascular, and graft versus host diseases, with or without the use of IL-10, and with or without the use or TGFβ, with or without the use of anti-IL 6 receptor antibody, anti TNF antibody and or Plasmapheresis, IVIG, Corticosteroids, Methotrexate, Bromocriptine, and or vitamin D analogues.

This disclosure includes an immunogenic composition containing (a) a glycan conjugate including a carrier and one or more glycans, wherein each of the one or more glycans is conjugated with the carrier through a linker, and optionally (b) an adjuvant. The one or more glycan is each a Globo H derivative.

A sterile, closed, disposable system for formulating biopharmaceutical compositions containing multiple active agents is described herein.

The present invention relates to a safe non-virulent Yersinia enterocolitica mutant strain for delivering heterologous proteins in target cells carrying mutations in at least one of the effector genes yopH, yopO, yopP, yopE, yopM, yopT genes and at least one additional mutation in the invasin genes chosen from yadA and/or inv. The present invention also relates to a safe non-virulent Yersinia enterocolitica mutant strain for delivering heterologous proteins in target cells according to claim 1 carrying mutations in all effector genes yopH, yopO, yopP, yopE, yopM, yopT genes and at least one additional mutation in the invasin genes chosen from yadA and/or inv. The present invention also relates to an expression vector for delivering a heterologous protein into a target cell using a Yersinia enterocolitica mutant strain according to any of the claims 1 to 4, which comprises in the 5' to 3' direction :(a) a promoter of a Yersinia virulon gene, (b) a first DNA sequence encoding a delivery signal from a Yersinia effector protein, operably linked to said promoter; and, (c) a second DNA sequence coding for said heterologous protein, fused in frame to the 3' end of said first DNA sequence. The present invention further relates to methods and compositions comprising (the use of) the afore-mentioned mutant strains and expression vectors.

Compositions for stabilizing and delivering proteins and/or other bioactive agents are disclosed. The bioactive agents are embedded or encapsulated in a crystalline matrix. Typically the bioactive agents are in the form of micro- or nanoparticles. The crystalline matrix confers enhanced stability to the agents embedded therein relative to other microparticulate or nanoparticulate bioactive agents. The carriers are especially useful for stabilizing bioactive macromolecules, such as proteins.

The present disclosure provides immunogenic compositions that include at least two paramyxovirus F protein antigens selected from human metapnuemovirus (hMPV), paarainfluenza virus (PIV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The antigens of the disclosed compositions are recombinant F protein polypeptides, which have been modified to stabilize the trimeric prefusion conformation. Nucleic acids encoding the antigens, as well as methods for their production and use are also provided.
