3033results about How to "Improving immunogenicity" patented technology

Disclosed are novel synthetically-modified B. thuringiensis chimeric crystal proteins having improved insecticidal activity against coleopteran, dipteran and lepidopteran insects. Also disclosed are the nucleic acid segments encoding these novel peptides. Methods of making and using these genes and proteins are disclosed as well as methods for the recombinant expression, and transformation of suitable host cells. Transformed host cells and tansgenic plants expressing the modified endotoxin are also aspects of the invention.

Disclosed and claimed is an adjuvant for immunogenic, immunological, antigenic or vaccine compositions. The adjuvant is composed of insect cells or fractions thereof. Disclosed and claimed are also methods for preparing and using the adjuvant and compositions containing the adjuvant. Advantageously, a recombinant baculovirus containing DNA encoding and expressing an epitope of interest or antigen can be infected into insect cells such as insect cells derived from a Lepidopteran species such as S. frugiperda for expression, and the infected insect cells or a fraction thereof can be used with the expressed epitope of interest or antigen as an inventive antigen or in an inventive immunological, antigen or vaccine composition.

The invention provides mRNA and a vaccine for coding a SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen and a preparation method of the vaccine, and relates to the technical field of vaccines. The mRNA for coding the SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen at least contains at least one of S protein and N protein for coding SARS-CoV-2 virus and / or a coding region of a fragment of the at least one protein, and the mRNA is delivered intoa body to enable the body to generate an immune reaction.

The present invention provides: a modified FcRn-binding domain having an enhanced affinity for the Fc Receptor neonatal (FcRn) at neutral pH; an antigen-binding molecule comprising said FcRn-binding domain, which has low immunogenicity, high stability and form only a few aggregates; a modified antigen-binding molecule having an increased FcRn-binding activity at neutral or acidic pH without an increased binding activity at neutral pH for a pre-existing anti-drug antibody; use of the antigen-binding molecules for improving antigen-binding molecule-mediated antigen uptake into cells; use of the antigen-binding molecules for reducing the plasma concentration of a specific antigen; use of the modified FcRn-binding domain for increasing the total number of antigens to which a single antigen-binding molecule can bind before its degradation; use of the modified FcRn-binding domain for improving pharmacokinetics of an antigen-binding molecule; methods for decreasing the binding activity for a pre-existing anti-drug antibody; and methods for producing said antigen-binding molecules.

The invention relates to the technical field of porcine pseudorabies viruses (PRVs) and in particular relates to a porcine PRV variant PRV-ZJ01 with collection number of CGMCCNo.8170 and an application of the porcine PRV variant PRV-ZJ01 in preparation of vaccines. The porcine PRV variant PRV-ZJ01 has the beneficial effects that a water-soluble inactivated vaccine is prepared by adopting a PRV-ZJ01 variant virus solution and is subjected to a swine immune protection test with live vaccines of Bartha-K61, Bucharest and HB-98 strains and the results show that the inactivated vaccine of the ZJ01 strain has relatively high safety and has the immune protection efficiency obviously higher than that of immunity groups of the live vaccines of the Bartha-K61, Bucharest and HB-98 strains, and the live vaccines of the Bartha-K61, Bucharest and HB-98 strains can not provide full protection for the ZJ01 very virulent strain; the inactivated vaccine of ZJ01 has relatively good immune protection effects on the PRV variant and the traditional strains; infected with 10<6.0>TCID50 (Tissue culture infectious dose 50) / ml nasal drops of the PRV-ZJ01 variant, all the 85-day-old non-immune swine can become ill and die; results prove that the virulence of the virus strain is obviously enhanced, the antigenicity is varied and the virus strain has relatively good immunogenicity after being inactivated and can be used for research and development of the vaccine of the virus strain and the diagnostic methods.

The present disclosure provides TC-83 VEE-derived replicons, alphaviral replicon particles and immunogenic compositions containing TC-83 alphaviral replicon particles which direct the expression of at least one antigen when introduced into a suitable host cell. The TC-83 VEE-derived ARPs described herein are improved in that they are subject to a lower vector-specific immune response than prior art ARPs.
