Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides an immunogenic composition of a lipopolysaccharide vaccine and a non-alum adjuvant. The immunogenic composition may be detoxified J5 core lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli non-covalently complexed with group B meningococcal outermembrane protein. Also provided are methods for preventing an infection caused by a Gram-negative bacteria in an individual via administering the immunogenic compositions to the individual.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An immunogenic composition, consisting of: a detoxified E. coli J5 core lipopolysaccharide of the Rc chemotype, non-covalently complexed with group B meningococcal outer membrane protein; and CpG 7909. 2. A method of actively immunizing an individual against infection by a heterologous Gram negative bacterium comprising administering to the individual an immunologically effective amount of the immunogenic composition of claim 1 . 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the immunogenic composition is administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intranasally. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the detoxified E. coli J5 core lipopolysaccharide non-covalently complexed with the group B meningococcal outer membrane protein is present in the immunogenic composition in a concentration of 5 to 50 micrograms and the CpG 7909 is present in the immunogenic composition in a concentration of 250 to 500 micrograms. 5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the immunogenic composition elicits anti-J5 core lipopolysaccharide antibodies in the individual that bind to the heterologous Gram negative bacterium.
