Problems solved by technology

Polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid (PIC), one of most studied polynucleotide complexes, was not effective when used in monkeys and humans due to its instability in the body after administration.
However, Lin found that that the form of PICKCa originally identified does not provide the optimal efficacy / safety profile for use as an adjuvant and also induces unacceptable adverse side effects under certain conditions.

PIKA in Combination with a Variety of Antigens Induces a Specific Immune Response

[0215] This example involves use of PIKA in combination with a variety of antigens to elicit a specific immune response in vivo. The research was conducted in a series of independent experiments with a common protocol though using a different antigen each time. The antigens tested include: a recombinant protein hepatitis B surface antigen type adw, an inactivated split influenza vaccine (VAXIGRIP from Sanofi Pasteur), a synthesized HIV peptide antigen, a recombinant protein herpes simplex virus type 2 gD antigen, recombinant protective anthrax protein antigen, inactivated whole virus avian influenza antigen strain H5N1 and an inactivated whole virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) inactivated antigen.

[0216] The protocol for the individual experiment involve the inoculation of Balb / c mice with compositions of antigen alone, antigen with the PIKA adjuvant (a heterogeneous composition of PIKA mo...

Recombinant Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBSAg) adw

[0222] The results in table II below are the results of the ELISPOT test detecting the presence number of cells producing INF-γ, IL-2 and IL-4 using a recombinant protein hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) type adw. Groups A to E represent the different combinations of antigen / adjuvant / control media administered to the mice. The numbers in the table II (see also FIG. 1.1) represent the ELISPOT reading, the number of spot forming cells, that is, a direct measure the number of cells producing cytokine.

[0223] The distinct increase in the number of spot forming cells with the addition of the PIKA adjuvant (as compared with the antigen alone) demonstrates that the addition of the PIKA adjuvant to recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen enhances the expression of cytokines INF-γ, IL-2 and IL-4 by cultured spleen cells. The observed expression of cytokines indicates an enhanced adaptive immune response of both a humoral and cell mediate...

Abstract

The present invention provides a polynucleotide adjuvant composition and methods of use in eliciting an immune response. The present invention also provides an immunogenic composition comprising the polynucleotide adjuvant composition together with other immunogenic compositions such as an antigen (e.g., as in a vaccine). The present invention further contemplates methods of use of such adjuvant compositions, particularly in eliciting an immune response to an antigenic compound.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The invention generally relates to immunogenic compositions and methods of their use. More specifically the invention relates to an immunogenic composition comprising a polynucleotide adjuvant in combination with one or more antigenic substances to be used to elicit disease specific immune response in a host. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0002] The immune system may exhibit both specific and nonspecific immunity. Nonspecific immunity encompasses various cells and mechanisms such as phagocytosis (the engulfing of foreign particles or antigens) by macrophages or granulocytes, and natural killer (NK) cell activity, among others. Nonspecific immunity relies on mechanisms less evolutionarily advanced and does not display the acquired nature of specificity and memory, which are exemplary hallmarks of a specific immune response. The key differences between specific and nonspecific immunity are based upon B and T cell specificity. These cells predominantly acquire their...
