Rational design of synthetic vaccine particles (SVP) for therapeutic treatment of chronic diseases
3rd International Conference on Vaccines & Vaccination
July 29-31, 2013 Embassy Suites Las Vegas, NV, USA
Takashi Kei Kishimoto
Scientific Tracks Abstracts: J Vaccines Vaccin
Abstract:
V accines for the prophylaxis of infectious diseases have been one of the most effective interventions for improving human health. Recent advances in immunology and vaccine technology have opened the door to novel vaccine-based therapies for the therapeutic treatment of chronic diseases. We have developed a flexible and modular Synthetic Vaccine Particle (SVP) technology that enables the rational design of both stimulatory vaccines and tolerogenic immune therapies. Our targeted SVPs (tSVP) have been designed and optimized to promote efficient cross-presentation of antigen and stimulate robust cellular immunity for the treatment of cancer and chronic infections, while our tolerogenic targeted SVPs (t 2 SVP) are designed to induce immune tolerance for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, allergies, and immunogenicity of biological therapies. We will describe the general design principles of these synthetic, self-assembling nanoparticles and provide examples for use in various disease settings.
