Problems solved by technology

However, the immunogenicity of the existing pneumococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines on the market is highly variable. This variability is not only due to the structural differences of polysaccharides of different serotypes, but also the use of different immunogenic protein carriers. It is also the main cause of the immunogenic difference of 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide protein conjugates
In certain high-risk populations, such as children, the elderly, or those who are immunocompromised, low-immunogenicity polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines are less effective and have limited protection

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The specific implementation method of the present invention is illustrated below, but not limited to the following examples.

[0032] The first step, preparation of carrier protein and pneumococcal polysaccharide

[0033] In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the present invention, two carrier proteins were prepared, namely the protein carrier OVApCRM197A containing OVAp and the protein carrier CRM197A not containing OVAp. Among them, the CRM197A protein carrier is used to synthesize the 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide-CRM197A conjugate sample for control.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving immunogenicity of a 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate. The method comprises the following steps of 1, adding ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR OVAp into CRM197A and producing OVAp-containing CRM197A protein carrier (OVApCRM197A), and 2, connecting 13 different serotypes of polysaccharides to the OVApCRM197A by a covalent bond so that a 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide-OVApCRM197A conjugate is obtained. Compared with a 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide-CRM197A conjugate prepared from corresponding OVAp-less CRM197A, the 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide-OVApCRM197A conjugate improves immunogenicity by 3-5 times.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method capable of enhancing the immunogenicity of a 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide protein conjugate. Background technique [0002] When the polysaccharide is covalently linked to the protein carrier, the polysaccharide of the hapten can be converted into a whole antigen, so that the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide is enhanced. The polysaccharide-protein conjugated vaccine synthesized by this method has been widely used in children, successfully preventing bacterial infections including pneumococcus, meningococcus and Haemophilus influenzae type b. [0003] There are a variety of protein carriers used to synthesize polysaccharide-protein conjugates, such as tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, diphtheria toxin variant CRM197, and Haemophilus epidemic surface protein D produced by genetic recombination technology; however, due to different protein The immunogenicity of polysaccharide-protein conjugates synthesized b...
