Novel Immunomodulators and Vaccine Adjuvants
TS-038032 — A class of compounds possessing potent immunomodulatory activity, to enhance the protection of vaccines against infectious agents.
While vaccines are commonly used today for a variety of diseases and have proven efficacious for disease prevention, some vaccines do not efficiently activate an immune response. About 10% of vaccinations fail to mount adequate antibody levels to routine vaccinations. Also, many viruses rapidly mu…

Methods to Improve Mucosal Immune Response During Vaccination
TS-015239 — A method for enhancing the mucosal (IgA) immune response by transiently blocking a specific cellular subset during vaccination.
Mucosal IgA are immunoglobulins (antibodies) that play a key role in the defense of mucosal tissues by neutralizing pathogenic microorganisms and toxins and interfering with bacterial or viral colonization of the epithelium. An important component of needle-free vaccines is induction of mucosal Ig…
