[0084] Process for preparing an oil-in-water emulsion and combining the emulsion with an IPV vaccine
[0085] According to the document [Ott et al., The adjuvant MF59: a 10-year perspective. In-vaccine adjuvants: preparation methods and research protocols. Methods in Molecular medicine, vol 42, chapter 12, p211-228. Edited by D.T.O'Hagan (2000 )] to prepare oil-in-water emulsions. Briefly, 9.75 g squalene (Sigma, from shark liver) was mixed with 1.175 g sorbitan trioleate. Separately 1.175 g of polysorbate 80 was mixed with 240 ml of 10 mM pH 6.5 citrate buffer before adding to the squalene-sorbitan trioleate solution. The mixture was further homogenized for 1 minute using a bench top homogenizer (Silverson). Immediately after that, the material was subjected to five-channel high-pressure microfluidization using a Microfluidics M110H microfluidizer (Microfluidics, MA, USA). The size of the oil droplets was verified to be less than 150 nm using a Malvern laser particle size ...

[0088] Immunization and immunogenicity evaluation in rats
[0089] Rats (n=5) were injected intramuscularly twice (days 0 and 28) with 0.1 ml of A) full-strength IPV; B) IPV diluted 10 times with PBS and C) IPV diluted 10 times with the above emulsion. immunity. Sera were collected on day 42 and evaluated for poliovirus neutralization titers for all three of the IPV vaccines.
[0090] The geometric mean titers for virus neutralization are shown in the table below
[0091] Table 1 Geometric mean titer (N=5)
[0092]
[0093] (The values in brackets represent the geometric mean deviation)
[0094] This demonstrates that when combined with an oil-in-water emulsion, a 1 / 10th dose of the IPV vaccine elicited an immune response at least as effective as that elicited by the full-dose vaccine without adjuvant.
[0095] The addition of adjuvants to IPV vaccines therefore allows for a reduction in vaccine dose and allows the use of lower doses of antigen for vaccination.
