This technology includes a novel vaccine for forming autoantibodies against apoC-III, a plasma enzyme that inhibits lipolysis. The vaccine can possibly be used to treat patients with high triglycerides and are at risk for pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease. This disclosure describes an ApoC3 immunogen that includes an antigenicApoC3 peptide linked to a bacteriophage virus-like-particle (VLP) immunogenic carrier.

Commercial Applications
This vaccine has significant potential for further development as a potential therapeutic for hypertriglyceridemia.

Competitive Advantages
This technology for inducing autoantibodies against endogenous ApoC3 using peptides conjugated to virus-like-particles (VLPs) is completely novel and if successful would be a much lower cost than using antisense oligonucleotides and likely could be more widely used.
