Problems solved by technology

However, these newer technologies are still in their infancy and are yet to be used in the United States to create licensed vaccines
[0014] Freezing of alum-containing vaccine compositions (either as part of the lyophilization process or to manufacture frozen vaccines) often induces aggregation of aluminum particles and causes degradation of antigens adsorbed to alum adjuvants, resulting in loss of potency

Embodiment 1

[0115] Example 1: Freezing / thawing of liquid rPA and AVA vaccines with and without trehalose

[0116] rPA102 vaccine formulations were prepared with and without trehalose as outlined in Table 1 below.

[0117] Table 1. Trehalose Preparations Used for Freeze / Thaw Analysis

[0118]

[0119] After compounding, each sample was divided into two 8ml aliquots in 10ml glass tubes. For each sample, one tube was placed at -80°C after gentle mixing overnight and the other tube was placed at 2-8°C after gentle mixing overnight.

[0120] Samples stored overnight at -80°C were thawed on the lab bench for several hours (>3-4 hours) the next day, then observed and compared to samples brought to room temperature at 2-8°C. Photograph the samples and measure the total liquid height and ALHYDROGEL (aluminum hydroxide) height. Comparison of conventional rPA102 vaccine before and after freezing / thawing. figure 1 are photographs comparing rPA Control 1 samples at 2-8°C (labeled ...

Embodiment 2

[0125] Example 2: Freezing / thawing of liquid rPA vaccines with and without sucrose

[0126] The rPA102 vaccine formulations were prepared with and without sucrose as outlined in Table 3 below.

[0127] Table 3. Sucrose preparations used for freeze / thaw analysis

[0128]

[0129] After compounding, each sample was divided into two 10ml aliquots in 10ml glass tubes. For each sample, one tube was placed at -80°C after gentle mixing overnight and the other tube was placed at 2-8°C after gentle mixing overnight.

[0130] Samples stored overnight at -80°C were thawed on the laboratory bench for 2-3 hours the next day before observation. image 3 Contains photographs of each formulation from 2-8°C (marked 5°C) and -80°C after both had reached room temperature. As shown, after thawing, gel collapse occurred in both -80°C samples (rPA Control 2 and rPA Test 2) compared to samples still refrigerated at 2-8°C. However, the amount of gel collapse was significantly gre...

Embodiment 3

[0131] Example 3: In Vivo Mouse Potency Analysis

[0132] Lyophilized vaccines were prepared as outlined in Table 4. The dried vaccine was reconstituted with water for injection to a final rPA concentration of 0.15 mg / ml (75 μg / 0.5 ml dose), followed by 10-fold dilution in saline to obtain a dose level of 0.1 (DL).

[0133] Female CD-1 mice, 5-8 weeks old and weighing 20-25 grams, were each used in this study. 0.1 DL vaccine (0.5 ml) was injected intraperitoneally into groups of 20 female CD-1 mice, and serum was collected on day 28 to assess neutralization of anthrax LT cells in mice in a toxin neutralization assay (TNA) The ability to be toxic.

[0134] Table 4. Lyophilized formulations used for mouse potency assays

[0135]

[0136] The immunogenicity of the rPA102 preparation was studied by calculating the neutralization factor (NF50). Neutralization factor NF50 is defined as follows:

[0137]

[0138] wherein the effective dose 50% (ED50) refer...

Abstract

Formulations of vaccine antigen, such as anthrax protective antigen, are provided that are stable after undergoing freeze and thaw conditions. Methods of using the formulations to prepare vaccine are also provided. Vaccines comprising the formulations are useful, for example, to protect against, inhibit or alleviate a disease or infection, such as related to anthrax infection.
