摘要:
The invention relates to the field of immunology and vaccine development, in particular to the development of vaccines based on native antigen oligomers. Provided is an immunogenic composition in particulate form, comprising oligomers of a surface exposed polypeptide of pathogenic origin or tumor origin, or antigenic part thereof, said oligomers being bound non-covalently to a particulate carrier, and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or excipient. Also provided is a recombinant polypeptide comprising (A) an N- or C-terminal antigenic domain, comprising at least one surface exposed polypeptide of pathogenic or tumor origin, or antigenic part thereof, the antigenic domain being fused to (B) an oligomerization domain (OMD), said oligomerization domain being fused via (C) a linker domain to (D) a peptidoglycan binding domain (PBD) consisting of a single copy of a LysM domain capable of mediating the non-covalent attachment of the polypeptide to a non-viable bacterium-like particle (BLP) obtained from a Gram-positive bacterium.

摘要:
The invention relates to the areas of immunology and vaccine delivery. More specifically, it relates to a bacterial vaccine delivery technology with built-in immunostimulatory properties which allows the immobilization of any antigen of interest, without prior antigen modification. Provided is an antigen-loaded immunogenic carrier complex comprising at least one bifunctional polypeptide attached to an immunogenic carrier, said bifunctional polypeptide comprising a peptidoglycan binding domain (PBD) through which the polypeptide is attached to said carrier, fused to an antigen binding domain (ABD) to which at least one antigen of interest is bound. Also provided is a pharmaceutical (e.g. vaccine) composition comprising an antigen-loaded immunogenic carrier complex of the invention.
