'The present invention provides a nano particle comprising: a core comprising metal atoms; a corona comprising a plurality of ligands covalently linked to the core, wherein said plurality of ligands comprises: at least one carbohydrate ligand; at least one glutathione ligand; and at least one autoantigen peptide ligand. Also provided are compositions and vaccines comprising the nanoparticles, methods for producing the nanoparticles and medical uses of the nanoparticles, including for antigen specific immunotherapy of an autoimmune disease, such as diabetes mellitus type 1, in a mammalian subject.'
I'm no biology expert but my interpretation in layman's terms is that it's the patent that protects the use of nanoparticles in vaccines. I could be totally wrong; a more professional opinion is welcome. If that is correct, this could allude to the technology Emergex is using - again, speculation on my behalf.
