An antigen composition such as tetanus toxoid or polyomyelitis vaccine having an improved efficacy over the plain antigen comprises at least one bacterial or viral antigenic species and at least one adjuvant in an amount effective to enhance the antigenic response of the antigenic species; the adjuvant is an ester of a long chain alcohol containing 10 to 22 carbon atoms and an amino acid, for example octadecyl tyrosine.
Capsular polysaccharides containing multiple sialic acid residues, particularly the Group B polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis, are modified by chemical reaction to randomly introduce pendant reactive residues of heterobifunctional linker molecules to the polysaccharide backbone. The capsular polysaccharide is deacetylated and the heterobifunctional linker molecule is reacted with the deacetylated material and any residual amino groups are blocked by reaction with alkyl acid anhydride. The introduction of the linker molecules to the polysaccharide chain between the termini enables the polysaccharide to be linked to a carrier molecule, such as a protein, to enhance the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide. The conjugate molecule may be formulated as an immunogenic composition for raising antibodies in a host to the polysaccharide.
通过化学反应对含有多个硅铝酸残基的胶囊多糖,特别是脑膜炎奈瑟氏菌的 B 组多糖进行修饰,在多糖骨架上随机引入杂双官能团连接分子的悬垂反应残基。胶囊多糖经过脱乙酰化处理,杂多官能团连接分子与脱乙酰化材料发生反应,任何残留的氨基基团通过与烷基酸酐反应被阻断。将连接分子引入多糖链的端部之间,可使多糖与蛋白质等载体分子连接,从而增强多糖的免疫原性。共轭分子可配制成免疫原性组合物,用于在宿主体内产生针对多糖的抗体。

A fimbrial agglutinogen preparation is prepared from a Bordetella strain, particularly a B.pertussis strain, by a multiple step procedure involving extraction of the fimbrial agglutinogens from cell paste and concentrating and purifying the extracted material. The fimbrial agglutinogen preparation may be used to prepare acellular pertussis vaccines with other pertussis antigens, including pertussis toxin or toxoid thereof, the 69 kDa protein and filamentous haemagglutonin and other Bordetella antigens. Such vaccines confer protection to at least 70% of an at-risk human population.
