Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a composition that can be used to treat antigen-related conditions in individuals. The composition includes a B subunit of Shiga toxin or a functional equivalent thereof which can bind to a specific receptor, and a ligand of CD1 that can stimulate natural killer T cells. The composition can be administered to individuals in a therapeutically effective amount to stimulate an immune response against the antigen and treat the antigen-related condition. The invention also includes a pharmaceutical kit and a vaccine comprising the composition.

Problems solved by technology

Live attenuated pathogens or whole inactivated organisms have been shown to activate both arms of the immune system in human but these vaccines are difficult to produce, potentially unsafe or poorly immunogenic.
Development of subunit vaccines to elicit a robust specific CD8+ T cell response represents therefore an ongoing competitive challenge.
However, generation and ex vivo manipulation of DCs are laborious.
However, when myeloid DCs derived from bone marrow were incubated with STxB, no maturation of these cells has been observed.
However, the Applicant observed and confirmed that all combinations of vectors and adjuvant are not equivalent for the induction of CD8+ T cells response.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) a B subunit of Shiga toxin or a functional equivalent thereof which is able to bind the Gb3 receptor, complexed with an antigen and b) at least one ligand of CDl capable of stimulating NK T cells; and to a pharmaceutical composition and a medicament comprising said composition.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of antigen-related disease and especially to the field of therapeutic vaccines. In particular, the present invention aims to elicit an immune response in an individual in need thereof, using a B subunit of Shiga toxin or a functional equivalent thereof complexed to an antigen and a means stimulating NKT cells.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Vaccine delivery system and adjuvants approved for human use (aluminium salts, MF59, virosomes . . . ) primarily stimulate humoral immune responses. However, preclinical studies strongly suggest that successful vaccines against pathogens (HIV, mycobacterium tuberculosis, malaria . . . ) but also cancer vaccines will likely require both humoral and cellular responses. Live attenuated pathogens or whole inactivated organisms have been shown to activate both arms of the immune system in human but these vaccines are difficult to produce, potentially unsafe or poorly immunogenic. ...
