The invention relates to hyperbaric devices for inactivating microorganisms and viruses while retaining their immunogenicity and for making and producing the soluble, disaggregated, refolded or active immunogenic or therapeutic proteins from inclusion bodies produced from prokaryotes or eukaryotes. The invention encompasses hyperbaric methods for inactivating pathogenic organisms, and methods for producing vaccine compositions using the inactivated pathogens. The hyperbarically inactivated microorganisms are safer and more immunogenic than chemically inactivated microorganisms. Similarly, the solubilized proteins have superior properties compared to more heavily aggregated proteins, including reduced non-specific immune reactions.
                            本发明涉及用于灭活微
生物和病毒同时保留其免疫原性的高压氧装置,以及用于从原核细胞或真核细胞产生的包涵体中制造和生产可溶性、分解的、重新折叠的或有活性的免疫原性或治疗性蛋白质的高压氧装置。本发明包括高压灭活病原体的方法,以及使用灭活病原体生产疫苗组合物的方法。高压灭活微
生物比
化学灭活微
生物更安全,免疫原性更高。同样,溶解的蛋白质与聚集程度较高的蛋白质相比具有更优越的特性,包括减少非特异性免疫反应。
