Patent ID: 11583578

Abstract:
The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one antigen and an adjuvant composition, where the adjuvant composition comprises a saponin and a liposome. The liposome of the composition comprises monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), cholesterol and a phospholipid that is in a liquid crystalline state at greater than or equal to 23° C., and the concentration of cholesterol to lipid in the liposome is greater than 50% (mol/mol). The antigen in the composition is a soluble Plasmodium falciparum recombinant circumsporozoite protein (rCSP) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or a P. falciparum rCSP peptide that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
