Patent ID: 7651842

Claim:
An immunogenic complex comprising: (a) at least one ribosomal complex; and (b) at least one adhesin of a microbe; or (c) at least one viral antigen, wherein the ribosomal complex comprises the large and small ribosomal subunits, corresponding to 50S and 30S subunits in bacteria and 60S and 40S subunits in eucaryotes which subunits are particulate in nature, carry on their surface minor fractions of the microbial cellular membrane or cell wall components and contain large double stranded rRNA's corresponding to 16S and 23S in bacteria, and 18S and 28S in eukaryotic cytosol; wherein the ribosomal complex retain integrity to preserve the double-stranded nature of the large r-RNA's contained in said ribosomal subunits; and wherein the immunogenic complex leads to the production of high levels of IgG antibodies.
