The present invention provides an allergy vaccine composition that is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for an allergic disease and can safely and effectively induce immune tolerance. The vaccine composition is to be administered to a human or animal with an allergic disease for the prevention or treatment of the allergic disease. The vaccine composition contains: an immunomodulator which is a lipopolysaccharide derived from at least one gram-negative bacterium selected from the group consisting of, and, or a salt of the lipopolysaccharide; and at least one allergen.

Allergy vaccine composition

The present disclosure relates to a method for inducing humoral immunity in a human or animal, that includes administering to the human or animal a mucosal vaccine composition to a mucous membrane selected from the group consisting of a human or animal intraoral mucous membrane, ocular mucous membrane, ear mucous membrane, genital mucous membrane, pharyngeal mucous membrane, respiratory tract mucous membrane, bronchial mucous membrane, pulmonary mucous membrane, gastric mucous membrane, enteric mucous membrane, and rectal mucous membrane. The mucosal vaccine composition includes at least one antigen derived from a pathogen; and as an adjuvant, a lipopolysaccharide derived from at least one gram-negative bacterium selected from the group consisting of, and, or a salt of the lipopolysaccharide, wherein the mass ratio between a total mass of the adjuvant and a total mass of the antigen is 0.002 to 500. The mucosal vaccine composition is administered in an amount effective to induce humoral immunity in the human or animal.

Mucosal vaccine composition

The present invention aims at providing a mucosal vaccine composition that can be administered to an intraoral mucous membrane, ocular mucous membrane, ear mucous membrane, genital mucous membrane, pharyngeal mucous membrane, respiratory tract mucous membrane, bronchial mucous membrane, pulmonary mucous membrane, gastric mucous membrane, enteric mucous membrane, or rectal mucous membrane, that is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for infectious diseases or cancers, and is capable of safely and effectively inducing the systemic immune response and mucosal immune response. The present invention provides a mucosal vaccine composition to be administered to at least one mucous membrane selected from the group consisting of a human or animal intraoral mucous membrane, ocular mucous membrane, ear mucous membrane, genital mucous membrane, pharyngeal mucous membrane, respiratory tract mucous membrane, bronchial mucous membrane, pulmonary mucous membrane, gastric mucous membrane, enteric mucous membrane, and rectal mucous membrane, containing: at least one antigen; and as an adjuvant, a lipopolysaccharide derived from at least one gram-negative bacterium selected from the group consisting of, and, or a salt thereof.

The present invention provides a nasal mucosal vaccine composition which is safe, useful as a preventive or therapeutic agent for infectious diseases or cancers, and capable of inducing systemic immune responses and mucosal immune responses effectively. The present invention provides a nasal mucosal vaccine composition to be administered to a human or animal nasal mucous membrane, the nasal mucosal vaccine composition containing at least one antigen excluding antigens derived from influenza viruses; and as an adjuvant, a lipopolysaccharide derived from at least one gram-negative bacterium selected from the group consisting of, and, or a salt thereof.

Nasal mucosal vaccine composition

The present invention aims at providing an injectable vaccine composition that is safe, useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for cancers or infectious diseases, and capable of inducing the systemic immune response safely and effectively. The present invention is an injectable vaccine composition to be administered by injection to a human being or an animal, containing: at least one antigen, and as an adjuvant, a lipopolysaccharide derived from at least one gram negative bacterium selected from the group consisting of, Craurococcus,, Muricoccus,, Paracraurococcus,, Roseococcus,, Teichococcus,, Micrococcus,, and, or a salt thereof.

Injectable vaccine composition

An intraorally administrable vaccine composition useful to be a preventive or therapeutic agent for infectious diseases, and effectively induces a systemic immune response or a mucosal immune response is provided. A vaccine composition for administration to the oral cavity of a human or an animal, the vaccine composition containing at least one antigen derived from an infectious disease, and at least one selected from the group consisting of a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist, a toll-like receptor 2/6 (TLR2/6) agonist, and cyclic dinucleotide, or a derivative or salt thereof.
