Compositions and methods for diagnosing and treating urinary tract infections
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating urinary tract infections. In particular, the present invention relates to vaccines and immune modulators for treating urinary tract infections.
1. An antigenic composition comprising a conjugate of at least a portion of one or more isolated antigens selected from the group consisting of Iha, IreA, IutA, c2482 and IroN, wherein said at least a portion of said antigen is conjugated to a carrier, and wherein said at least a portion of said antigen comprises an antigenic determinant of said antigen.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of cholera toxin, tetanus toxin and diphtheria toxin.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said at least a portion comprises extracellular loop 7 of IroN or loop 6 of IutA.
4. A composition comprising at least a portion of one or more antigens selected from the group consisting of Iha, IreA, IutA, IroN and c2482, wherein said at least a portion of said antigen comprises an antigenic determinant of said antigen.
5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said composition further comprises a sterile pharmaceutically acceptable carrier protein.
6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said at least a portion comprises extracellular loop 7 of IroN or loop 6 of IutA.
7. A vaccine composition, comprising at least one antigen covalently bound to an carrier, wherein said at least one antigen comprises at least a portion of one or more antigens selected from a group consisting of Iha, IreA, IutA, c2482 and IroN, wherein said at least a portion of said antigen comprises an antigenic determinant of said antigen.
8. The vaccine composition of claim 7 , wherein said at least a portion comprises extracellular loop 7 of IroN or loop 6 of IutA.
