The present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing respiratory conditions. In particular, the methods relate to treatment of respiratory conditions associated with a virus, such as influenza. In particular, the present invention provides a method of treating or preventing a respiratory condition associated with an infectious agent in an individual, the method comprising administering a compound comprising a TLR2 agonist to the upper respiratory tract of the individual, thereby treating or preventing a respiratory condition associated with an infectious agent in the individual. The compound is not administered to the lower respiratory tract or to both the upper and lower respiratory tract (i.e. administered to the total respiratory tract).
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of S-carboxymethyl- l-cysteine from 3-chloro- l-alanine (3-Cl-Ala) and thioglycolic acid was found in Escherichia coli W3110 and was designated as S- carboxymethyl-l-cysteine synthase. It was purified from the cell-free extract to electrophoretic homogeneity and was crystallized. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 84,000 and gave one band corresponding to a molecular weight of 37,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme catalyzed the β-replacement reactions between 3-CI-AIa and various thiol compounds. The apparent Km values for 3-Cl-Ala and thioglycolic acid were 40 mM and 15.4 mM. The enzyme showed very low activity as to the α,β-elimination reaction with 3-Cl-Ala and l-serine. It was not inactivated on the incubation with 3-Cl-Ala. The absorption spectrum of the enzyme shows a maximum at 412 nm, indicating that it contains pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. The N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined and the corresponding sequence was detected in the protein sequence data bank, but no homogeneous sequence was found.

The present invention relates to a synthetic immunogen represented by the general formula 1, useful for generating long lasting protective immunity against various intracellular pathogens which are the causative agents of tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, AIDS, trypanosomiasis, malaria and also allergy, cancer and a process for the preparation thereof. The developed immunogen is able to circumvent HLA restriction in humans and livestock. The invention further relates to a vaccine comprising the said immunogen for generating enduring protective immunity against various diseases. The said vaccine is targeted against intracellular pathogens, more particularly the pathogen
M. tuberculosis
in this case. In the present invention, promiscuous peptides of
M. tuberculosis
are conjugated to TLR ligands especially; Pam2Cys to target them mainly to dendritic cells and therefore elicit long-lasting protective immunity. (The formula (I) should be inserted here) General formula (I) wherein, X
1
=a promiscuous CD4 T helper epitope selected from SEQ ID No. 1 to 98 OR nil; X
2
=a promiscuous CD8 T cytotoxic epitope selected from SEQ ID No. 99 to 103 OR nil; when X1=nil; X2=SEQ ID No. 99 to 103 and when X2=nil; X1=SEQ ID No. 1 to 98; Y=Lysine; and S=Serine.
本发明涉及一种由通式1表示的合成免疫原,可用于产生长期的保护性免疫力,以对抗导致结核病、利什曼病、艾滋病、锥虫病、疟疾、过敏和癌症等各种细胞内病原体。所开发的免疫原能够规避人类和家畜的HLA限制。本发明还涉及一种包括所述免疫原的疫苗,用于产生长期的保护性免疫力以对抗各种疾病。该疫苗针对细胞内病原体,特别是在本例中的M. tuberculosis病原体。在本发明中,M. tuberculosis的杂交肽与TLR配体(尤其是Pam2Cys)结合,主要靶向树突状细胞,从而引发长期的保护性免疫力。(公式(I)应在此处插入)通式(I)其中,X1 = SEQ ID No. 1至98或nil中选择的杂交CD4 T辅助表位;X2 = SEQ ID No. 99至103或nil中选择的杂交CD8 T细胞毒性表位;当X1 = nil时,X2 = SEQ ID No. 99至103,当X2 = nil时,X1 = SEQ ID No. 1至98;Y = 赖氨酸;S = 丝氨酸。
