CA 2498847

This application relates to improved Group B Streptococcus (~GBS~) saccharide- based vaccines comprising combinations of GBS polysaccharides with polypeptide antigens, and vice versa, such that the polypeptide and the saccharide each contribute to the immunological response in a recipient. The combination is particularly advantageous where the saccharide and polypeptide are from different GBS serotypes. The combined antigens may be present as a simple combination where separate saccharide and polypeptide antigens are administered together, or they may be present as a conjugated combination, where the saccharide and polypeptide antigens are covalently linked to each other. Preferably, the immunogenic compositions of the invention comprise a GBS saccharide antigen and at least two GBS polypeptide antigens, wherein said GBS saccharide antigen comprises a saccharide selected form GBS serotype Ia, Ib, and III, and wherein said GBS polypeptide antigens comprise a combination of at least two polypeptide or fragments thereof selected from the antigen group consisting of GBS 80, GBS 91, GBS 104, GBS 147, GBS 173, GBS 276, GBS 305, GBS 313, GBS 322, GBS 328, GBS 330, GBS 338, GBS 358, GBS 361, GBS 404, GBS 656, GBS 690, and GBS 691.

L'invention concerne des vaccins améliorés à base de saccharide contre les streptocoques du groupe B (GBS) comprenant des polysaccharides combinés avec des antigènes polypeptidiques, et vice versa, de sorte que le polypeptide et le saccharide contribuent chacun à la réaction immunologique chez un patient. Cette combinaison est particulièrement avantageuse lorsque le saccharide et le polypeptide proviennent de sérotypes GBS différents. Les antigènes combinés peuvent être présents sous la forme d'une simple combinaison, les antigènes saccharidiques et polypeptidiques séparés étant administrés ensemble, ou sous la forme d'une combinaison conjuguée, les antigènes saccharidiques et polypeptidiques étant liés par covalence les uns aux autres. De préférence, les compositions immunogènes de l'invention comprennent un antigène saccharidique GBS et au moins deux antigènes polypeptidiques GBS, ledit antigène saccharidique GBS renfermant un saccharide choisi parmi le sérotype GBS Ia, Ib et III, lesdits antigènes polypeptidiques GBS renfermant une combinaison d'au moins deux polypeptides ou fragments correspondants choisis dans le groupe d'antigènes constitué par GBS 80, GBS 91, GBS 104, GBS 147, GBS 173, GBS 276, GBS 305, GBS 313, GBS 322, GBS 328, GBS 330, GBS 338, GBS 358, GBS 361, GBS 404, GBS 656, GBS 690, et GBS 691.
