This invention provides liquid rotavirus formulations that are suitable for oral administration to human infants. In particular, the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines, comprising a rotavirus antigen, a sugar and a carboxylate, wherein said formulation has a pH of between pH 5.0 and pH 8.0 and comprises no phosphate or less than 5 mM phosphate. The invention also provides methods of preparing said rotavirus formulations and use thereof in the prevention or treatment or rotavirus associated diseases in humans.

Single-dose controlled-release immunogenic formulations, such as vaccines, based on bioerodible polyanhydride copolymer or homopolymer microparticles for the control of immune response mechanisms are provided. The copolymer or homopolymer microparticles degrade by surface-erosion from in vivo hydrolysis of anhydride linkages at the surface of the microparticle, which results in controlled release of immunogen(s) to a patient.

This invention relates to methods of removing bioburden from an aggregate of cells to obtain sterile cells that remain viable and immunogenic for the production of vaccines. This invention further relates to a method of eliciting an immune response to prevent a recurrence of metastases that involves preparing and administering a sterile vaccine derived from solid tumors. The vaccine is prepared by excising a solid tumor from a cancer patient, digesting the tumor cells with an enzyme to obtain dissociated cells, irradiating the dissociated cells to render the cells non-tumorigenic, and sterilizing the cells.

A method for preserving an aluminium-salt adjuvant during freezing or drying comprising freezing or drying an aqueous suspension or solution comprising: (a) an aluminium salt adjuvant; (b) a compound of formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt or ester thereof or a compound of formula (II) or a physiologically acceptable salt or ester thereof; and (c) optionally, one or more sugars.

The invention discloses a building method for autovaccine in-vivo induced by aiming at human TNF(Tumor Necrosis Factor)-alpha molecule. With a step-by-step cloning method, a fusion gene of hTNF-TT830-844, hTNF-HEL46-61 and hTNF-PADRE is built; point mutation (T439-A,C440-G) is introduced into a natural human TNF gene to optimize a mRNA (Ribonucleic Acid) secondary structure; the fusion gene is cloned into a pET22b prokaryotic expression vector, and efficient expression is achieved in the bacterial strain of escherichia coli; three T accessory cell epitope peptides are introduced between the epitope peptide structure domains of hTNF by the computer-aided analysis and is fused with the hTNF-alpha to overcome the immunological tolerance of an organism for the autologous protein, and therefore the organism generates high-level humoral immune response; the generated high-level hTNF-alpha neutralizing polyclone antibody can neutralize killing activity of the hTNF-alpha on L929 cells in vitro; the hTNF-PADRE has the strongest immunogenicity; the high-level antibody can be induced under the condition of using no immunological adjuvant; and the vaccine has favorable protection and curing action on mouse models suffering from rheumatoid arthritis induced by the II-type collagen, cachexia and the like induced by LPS (lipopolysaccharide).
