Methods for inducing anti-phosphorylated Tau antibodies without inducing a severe adverse event in humans are described. The methods include administering to the subject an effective amount of liposomes including a toll-like receptor 4 agonist and a Tau phosphopeptide presented on the surface of the liposome.

Method of safe administration of phosphorylated Tau peptide vaccine

A liposomal vaccine composition comprises a β-amyloid (Aβ)-derived peptide antigen displayed on the surface of the liposome. The vaccine composition also comprises a peptide comprising a universal T-cell epitope encapsulated within the liposome. The vaccine composition also comprises an adjuvant, which may form part of the liposome and may be displayed at least in part on the surface of the liposome. These vaccine compositions are used for treating, preventing, inducing a protective immune response against or alleviating the symptoms associated with an amyloid-beta associated disease or condition or a condition characterised by, or associated with, loss of cognitive memory capacity in a subject. The vaccine compositions may be provided as a kit. Related methods of producing a liposomal vaccine composition are also provided.

Anti-abeta therapeutic vaccines

Liposomes containing tau peptides, preferably phosphorylated tau peptides, and conjugates containing tau peptides, preferably phosphorylated tau peptides, conjugated to an immunogenic carrier are described. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses of the liposomes and/or conjugates for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease or disorder, such as Alzheimer's Disease, are also described.

Compositions of phosphorylated tau peptides and uses thereof

Method of safe administration of phosphorylated tau peptide vaccine

Methods for inducing an immune response against tau protein in a subject suffering from a neurodegenerative disease, disorder or condition, such as Alzheimer's Disease, are described. The methods include administering a liposomal priming composition containing tau peptides, preferably phosphorylated tau peptides, and a conjugate boosting composition containing tau peptides, preferably phosphorylated tau peptides, conjugated to an immunogenic carrier.

Heterologous administration of tau vaccines

A liposomal vaccine composition comprises a &#x3b2;-amyloid (A&#x3b2;)-derived peptide antigen displayed on the surface of the liposome. The vaccine composition also comprises a peptide comprising a universal T-cell epitope encapsulated within the liposome. The vaccine composition also comprises an adjuvant, which may form part of the liposome and may be displayed at least in part on the surface of the liposome. These vaccine compositions are used for treating, preventing, inducing a protective immune response against or alleviating the symptoms associated with an amyloid-beta associated disease or condition or a condition characterised by, or associated with, loss of cognitive memory capacity in a subject. The vaccine compositions may be provided as a kit. Related methods of producing a liposomal vaccine composition are also provided.
