Enhanced Immune Response To An Antigen By A Composition Of A Recombinant Virus Expressing The Antigen With A Recombinant Virus Expressing An Immunostimulatory Molecule

US Patent:
6548068, Apr 15, 2003
Filed:
Jan 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/480340
Inventors:
Jeffrey Schlom - Potamac MD
Judith Kantor - Rockville MD
James W. Hodge - Gaithersburg MD
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services - Washington DC
International Classification:
A61K 3900
US Classification:
4241991, 4242321, 4242041, 4353201, 4352351, 435325, 530350, 5303871, 536 2372
Abstract:
The present invention is a composition of recombinant virus which has incorporated into its genome or portion thereof a gene encoding an antigen to a disease causing agent and a recombinant virus which has incorporated into its genome or portion thereof a gene encoding an immunostimulatory molecule(s) for the purpose of stimulating an immune response against the disease causing agent. Methods of treatment of diseases such as cancer and diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms is provide using the composition.

Recombinant Vector Expressing Multiple Costimulatory Molecules And Uses Thereof

US Patent:
7771715, Aug 10, 2010
Filed:
Mar 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/723666
Inventors:
Jeffrey Schlom - Potomac MD, US
James Hodge - Gaithersburg MD, US
Dennis Panicali - Acton MA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services - Washington DC
International Classification:
A61K 48/00, C12N 15/00
US Classification:
424 931, 4353201
Abstract:
The present invention is a recombinant vector encoding and expressing at least three or more costimulatory molecules. The recombinant vector may additionally contain a gene encoding one or more target antigens or immunological epitope thereof. The synergistic effect of these costimulatory molecules on the enhanced activation of T cells is demonstrated. The degree of T-cell activation using recombinant vectors containing genes encoding three costimulatory molecules was far greater than the sum of recombinant vector constructs containing one costimulatory molecule and greater than the use of two costimulatory molecules. Results employing the triple costimulatory vectors were most dramatic under conditions of either low levels of first signal or low stimulator to T-cell ratios. This phenomenon was observed with both isolated CD4 and CD8 T cells. The recombinant vectors of the present invention are useful as immunogenes and vaccines against cancer and pathogenic micro-organisms, and in providing host cells, including dendritic cells and splenocytes with enhanced antigen-presenting functions.
