[0059] The preparation and use of immunogenic compositions are well known to those skilled in the art. Liquid pharmaceutical compositions generally contain a liquid carrier such as water, petroleum, animal or vegetable oil, mineral oil or synthetic oil. It may also contain physiological saline solution, dextrose or other carbohydrate solutions, or glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol.
[0060] The compositions are suitable for single administration or for serial administration. When administered in series, the first (prime) dose is followed by a vaccination to boost the immune response, often referred to as a booster vaccination. The compositions of the invention can be used as boosting compositions, primed with antigen using a variety of different priming compositions, or as priming compositions. Accordingly, one aspect of the invention provides a method of priming and / or boosting an immune response to an antigen in an individual. For ex...
Embodiment
[0076] The following examples are provided to illustrate, but not limit, the claimed invention
[0077] Depending on the need for immediate or long-term immunity, either a single vaccination or a prime-boost immunization has different advantages that must be taken into account when optimizing the immunization regimen. EBOV and other filoviruses tend to emerge suddenly and spread rapidly among populations with poor medical facilities. Therefore, in these cases, a short vaccine regimen is desirable. For this reason, a single vaccination with the rAd5 vector containing the EBOV glycoprotein (GP) and nucleoprotein (NP) genes has been developed in non-human primates (Sullivan, et al., 2006). These vaccines were shown to elicit a strong immune response within one month (Sullivan, et al., 2003), possibly due to the high level expression of the insert and the tropism of Ad5 for dendritic cells. On the other hand, long-term protective immunity may require a prime-boost vaccine regime...
