Abstract:
Systems and methods are presented that allow for selection of tumor neoepitopes that are then used to generate recombinant nucleic acids that encode one or more polytopes that are optimized for proper trafficking and processing. In preferred methods, the polytopes are encoded in a plasmid and/or a viral expression system for use as a therapeutic agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for inducing and proliferating target virus antigen-specific dual activated T cells, and can produce target virus antigen-specific dual activated T cells by treating monocytes, which are isolated from peripheral blood, with a cytokine and a virus antigen peptide mixture and culturing the same.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for the production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) particles. These methods are particularly useful for the large-scale production of AAV particles.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of CAdV vector vaccines, and especially to promoters suitable to express target antigens from such vector vaccines. Disclosed and claimed are recombinant canine adenoviruses, methods of making them, uses for them (including in immunological, immunogenic, vaccine or therapeutic compositions, or, as a vector for cloning, replicating or expressing DNA and methods of using the compositions and vector), expression products from them, and uses for the expression products. Additionally, disclosed and claimed are truncated EHV4 promoters, expression cassettes containing the promoters, and recombinant viruses and plasmids containing the promoters or expression cassettes.
Abstract:
The invention provides a nucleic acid construct encoding a housekeeping epitope derived from an antigen associated with a target cell. The construct can further include a second sequence encoding a housekeeping epitope or an immune epitope. The construct can be used as a vaccine against numerous kinds of target cells, including neoplastic cells and cells infected with an intracellular virus.
