The present invention also relates to the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention for use in preventing and/or treating tumours, preventing and/or treating infections, preventing and/or treating allergies, preventing and/or treating age-related immune imbalances, stimulating the innate and adaptive immune system and/or alleviating the adverse side effects of irradiation. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a hemoglobin-derived peptide as well as its use in treating a bacterial infection.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method for inducing an antigen-specific immune response to an antigen in a mammal in need thereof, or potentiating an immune response, by administering to the mammal an effective amount of an isolated Ov-ASP, or at least one subunit of Ov-ASP.
摘要:
This invention provides a method for introducing substances into cells comprising contacting a composition comprising orally administered beta-glucan with said cells. This invention also provides a method for introducing substances into a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of the above compositions. The substance which could be delivered orally includes but is not limited to peptides, proteins, RNAs, DNAs, chemotherapeutic agents, biologically active agents, plasmids, and other small molecules and compounds. Finally, this invention provides a composition comprising orally administered beta-glucan capable of enhancing efficacy of IgM and different uses of the said composition.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for treating an individual who is afflicted with a cancer, such as non-small cell lung cancer or prostate cancer, by administering to that individual a MUC-1-based formulation. The formulation may be a MUC-1 based liposomal vaccine formulation.
摘要:
It is intended to provide a remedy for diseases caused by macrophages with dysfunction or mediated by macrophages. Namely, a remedy which activates the phagocytic capacity of macrophages and thus is efficiently incorporated into the macrophages due to the vigorous phagocytosis. As a result, the macrophages with dysfunction are normalized, macrophages infected with a pathogen are exterminated or a pathogen in the infected macrophages is exterminated.
摘要:
The invention relates to Gram-negative bacteria carrying an inactivated gene encoding a glycosyltransferase involved in the synthesis of the core of the LPS of said Gram-negative bacteria, wherein said inactivated gene results in the synthesis of a LPS having a modified core. These strains have an attenuated virulence but induce a humoral immunity sufficient for ensuring vaccination of the host.
摘要:
This disclosure provides, in certain embodiments, methods for generating and using extracts of Pyrularia (e.g., Pyrularia pubera) and/or epiphytic/endophytic bacteria associated therewith, either alone or in combination with conventional immunostimulant(s) or anti-inflammatory agents, for modulation of the immune system of a subject. Also provided are compositions that include specific Pyrularia extracts, bacteria isolated from Pyrularia tissue (in particular, Pantoea species), and extracts of from such bacteria. Also provided herein are purified components of Pyrularia extracts and/or extracts from the epiphytic/endophytic bacteria, which extracts exhibit mitogenic or cytotoxic activities. Compositions provided herein can be used for the treatment of neutropenia subsequent to chemotherapy, and for the treatment of immune deficiency (e.g., such as is caused by toxic chemotherapy, disease, or advancing age), as well as in other immune-stimulatory methods. Other embodiments of the invention provide methods of producing extracts of the invention, as well as purified bioactive components thereof, including particularly bacterial LPS.
摘要:
A transcutaneous immunization system where the topical application of an adjuvant and an antigen or nucleic acid encoding for an antigen, to intact skin induces a systemic or mucosol antibody response. The immune response so elicited can be enhanced by physical or chemical skin penetration enhancement.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a liposome having a sugar chain bonded thereto, the sugar chain having an activity of specifically binding to various lectins (sugar chain recognizing proteins) present on the cell surfaces of various tissues and thus being capable of actually distinguishing a cell and a tissue in vivo, thereby efficiently delivering a medicinal drug or a gene.
