Immunostimulatory Compositions And Methods

View page
US Patent:
8017582, Sep 13, 2011
Filed:
Sep 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/553770
Inventors:
Haval Shirwan - Louisville KY, US
Kutlu G. Elpek - Louisville KY, US
Esma S. Yolcu - Louisville KY, US
Assignee:
University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc. - Louisville KY
International Classification:
A61K 38/16
US Classification:
514 212
Abstract:
The invention provides conjugates comprising an immune co-stimulatory polypeptide and an antigen or infectious agent. The conjugates are useful for generating or enhancing an immune response against the antigen or infectious agent. The invention also provides immune cells modified with a conjugate that are useful for generating or enhancing an immune response to an antigen or infectious agent. The invention also provides immunostimulatory moieties comprising an immune co-stimulatory polypeptide that are useful for stimulating an immune response. The invention also provides immunotherapy methods and methods of treating or preventing infections.

In Vivo Cell Surface Engineering

US Patent:
20070172504, Jul 26, 2007
Filed:
Dec 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/635075
Inventors:
Haval Shirwan - Louisville KY, US
Kutlu Elpek - Louisville KY, US
Esma Yolcu - Louisville KY, US
International Classification:
A61K 39/00
C12N 5/08
C12N 15/09
US Classification:
424277100, 435325000, 435366000, 435455000
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for the in vivo engineering of cell surfaces, such as tumor cell surfaces, with one or more immune co-stimulatory polypeptides. The methods, compositions and engineered cells are useful, for example, to stimulate an immune response against the cells. When the engineered cell surfaces are tumor cell surfaces, the methods, compositions and engineered cells are useful for improving a patient's immune response against the cancer and for reducing tumor size and inhibiting tumor growth.
