摘要:
Influenza vaccines are administered using solid biodegradable microneedles. The microneedles are fabricated from the influenza vaccine in combination with solid excipient(s) and, after penetrating the skin, they dissolve in situ and release the vaccine to the immune system. The influenza vaccine is (i) a purified influenza virus surface antigen vaccine, rather than a live vaccine or a whole-virus or split inactivated vaccine (ii) an influenza vaccine prepared from viruses grown in cell culture, not eggs, (iii) a monovalent influenza vaccine e.g. for immunizing against a pandemic strain, (iv) a bivalent vaccine, (v) a tetravalent or >4-valent vaccine, (vi) a mercury-free vaccine, or (vii) a gelatin-free vaccine.

摘要:
The disclosure generally relates to a particulate composition formed from a conductive polymer bound to magnetic nanoparticles. The particulate composition can be formed into a biologically enhanced, electrically active magnetic (BEAM) nanoparticle composition by further including a binding pair member (e.g., an antibody or a fragment thereof that specifically recognizes a virus strain or a virus surface protein) bound to the conductive polymer of the particulate composition. The disclosure further provides compositions, kits, detection apparatus, and methods for detecting specific viral strains including those with pandemic potential. In the various embodiments, a triplex including the BEAM nanoparticle, a virus or virally derived material (e.g. strain- and/or strain subtype specific viral surface protein or fragments thereof), and a viral strain subtype-specific binding pair member (e.g., a glycan that recognizes a specific virus strain subtype) is formed and detected, such as by use of a biosensor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods exogenous nucleic acid molecules, such as RNA, that encode an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of an antibody, and optionally encode a cellular modulation factor and/or a potentiation factor. The cellular modulation factor is a factor that results in increased expression of the antibody and/or antigen-binding fragment. The potentiation factor is a factor that provides desired antibody effector or other properties. The exogenous nucleic acid molecules can be DNA or RNA, as mRNA (including self-replication RNA and non-self-replicating RNA). The invention also relates method for administering the exogenous nucleic acid molecules to a subject to achieve production of the encoded antibody or antigen-binding fragment in the subject to provide, for example, prophylactic or therapeutic passive immunity.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for determining the concentration of virus particles and/or virus antigens in a sample. In particular, the invention relates to determining the concentration of influenza virus particles/influenza virus antigens in a sample. The invention further relates to the use of an ion-exchange matrix for the determination of the concentration of virus particles and/or virus antigens in a sample.

摘要:
A multivalent vaccine composition that comprises a papaya mosaic virus (PapMV) component and one or more antigens is provided. The composition can further optionally comprise a Salmonella spp. porin component. The PapMV component can be PapMV or PapMV virus-like particles (VLPs). The porin component can be a Salmonella spp. OmpC, OmpF or a combination thereof, and can be combined with the PapMV component or conjugated to the PapMV component. The PapMV component in the multivalent vaccine composition functions as an adjuvant and/or an immunostimulant with respect to the one or more antigens. Use of the multivalent vaccine compositions to provide protection against a plurality of strains of a pathogen, or against more than one pathogen, are also provided.
