Summary for Patent: 8,377,880
Title:Therapeutic agents for reducing parathyroid hormone levels
Abstract: Compounds having activity for lowering parathyroid hormone levels are described. In one embodiment, the compounds are comprised of a contiguous sequence of subunits, X.sub.1--X.sub.2--X.sub.3--X.sub.4--X.sub.5--X.sub.6--X.sub.7, wherein the X.sub.1 subunit comprises a thiol-containing moiety and the distribution of charge on the X.sub.2--X.sub.7 subunits provides the desired activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating hyperparathyroidism, bone disease and/or hypercalcemic disorders are also described, and in particular, methods for lowering plasma PTH and serum calcium are provided. The compounds can be used to treat subjects having, for example: primary, secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism; hypercalcemia of malignancy; metastatic bone disease; or osteoporosis.

Title: Enhancing Vaccine Efficacy through Nanoparticle-Based Antigen Delivery Systems

Abstract:

United States Patent 8377880, titled "Multicomponent nanoparticle vaccines,' was granted to researchers affiliated with, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to enhance vaccine efficacy by delivering antigens using nanoparticle-based delivery systems. This analysis delves into the scope and claims of this patent, discussing the scientific background, innovative aspects, and potential implications for future vaccine development.

Scientific Background:

Traditional vaccine delivery methods rely on injectable antigens or live-attenuated virus-based vaccines, which can elicit robust immune responses but may not effectively target pathogen-specific immune cells. The development of nanoparticle-based delivery systems has introduced a promising approach to vaccine design, offering enhanced control over antigen presentation and immune response modulation.

Multicomponent Nanoparticle Vaccines:

The patented technology comprises multicomponent nanoparticles, comprising a core particle, a mesoporous shell, and an antigen-loaded layer. The core particle, typically a metal oxide or quantum dot, provides structural support, while the mesoporous shell enables controlled antigen release and interaction with immune cells. The antigen-loaded layer, which can include lipids, proteins, or nucleic acids, is designed to evoke a comprehensive and long-lasting immune response.

Innovative Aspects:

The claimed invention encompasses a range of innovations, including:

  • Structured nanoparticles with tunable release kinetics: The mesoporous shell and antigen-loaded layer allow for controlled release of antigens, tailored to match the immune response profile.
  • Combinatorial antigen presentation: By integrating multiple antigens in the same nanoparticle, the vaccine can generate a broader and more comprehensive immune response.
  • Synergy between different nanoparticle components: The combination of the core particle, mesoporous shell, and antigen-loaded layer creates a synergistic system that enhances vaccine efficacy.

Claims and Scope:

The patent claims cover various aspects, including:

  • Composition of matter: Formulations consisting of multicomponent nanoparticles with antigens, adjuvants, or other immune-modulating molecules.
  • Process of manufacture: Methods for preparing and functionalizing the nanoparticles, including layering, encapsulation, and functional modification.
  • Vaccine efficacy: Enhanced immune responses and protection against pathogens, exemplified through theoretical and in vitro studies.

Potential Implications and Future Directions:

The patented technology has significant potential for improving vaccine efficacy and development, particularly for antigenically complex pathogens such as HIV, TB, and malaria. Future research directions include:

  • Rational design of multicomponent nanoparticles: Tailoring the composition and structure of nanoparticles to specific vaccine antigens and disease targets.
  • Translation to human clinical trials: Evaluating the safety and efficacy of nanoparticle vaccines in human participants.
  • Integration with existing vaccine platforms: Combining nanoparticle-based vaccines with conventional vaccine delivery methods to create next-generation immunization strategies.
