Embodiment I

[0221] Example 1 - Immune readout method

[0222] I.1. Ferret method

[0223] A suitable method is as follows, which is usually used for experiments with seasonal strains. The skilled reader will understand that some modifications or optimizations may be made depending on the strain of influenza virus used.

[0224] I.1.1. Hemagglutination inhibition test (HI)

[0225] test program

[0226] Anti-hemagglutinin antibody titers against influenza virus strains were determined using the hemagglutination inhibition test (HI). The principle of the HI test is based on the ability of specific anti-influenza antibodies to inhibit the hemagglutination of equine red blood cells (RBC) by influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA). After pretreatment of sera (cholera, RDE, heat inactivated), two-fold dilutions of sera were incubated with 4 hemagglutination units of the influenza virus strain. Equine (adapt: ​​turkey or horse) erythrocytes were then added and inhibition of agglutination was r...

Embodiment II

[0303] Example II - Preparation and Characterization of Oil-in-Water Emulsion and Adjuvant Formulations

[0304] Unless otherwise stated, the oil / water emulsions used in the subsequent examples consisted of an organic phase consisting of two oils (α-tocopherol and squalene) and a PBS aqueous phase containing Tween 80 as an emulsifier. Unless otherwise stated, the oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant formulations used in the subsequent examples were made to contain the following oil-in-water emulsion components (final concentrations given): 2.5% squalene (v / v), 2.5% alpha-tocopherol (v / v), 0.9% polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (v / v) (Tween80), see WO95 / 17210. This emulsion, referred to as AS03 in subsequent examples, was prepared as a 2-fold concentrate as follows.

[0305] II.1. Preparation of emulsion SB62

[0306] II.1.1. Laboratory scale preparation

[0307] Tween80 was dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to obtain a 2% PBS solution. To provide 100ml of 2x conce...

Embodiment III

[0354] Example III - Preclinical Evaluation of Adjuvanted Pandemic Split Influenza Vaccines (Containing H5N1 Strains) in Ferrets

[0355] III.1. Rationale and objectives

[0356] Considering infection susceptibility and clinical response, ferret-mode influenza infection closely resembles human influenza. Ferrets are highly susceptible to infection with influenza A and B viruses (excluding previously employed strains). Therefore, it provides an excellent model system for the study of protection conferred by administration of influenza vaccines.

[0357] This study investigated the protective effect of AS03-adjuvanted H5N1 split vaccine against ferrets challenged with H5N1 homostrain A / Vietnam / 1194 / 2004 or with allogeneic A / Indonesia. The goal of the experiment was to demonstrate the effect of adjuvanted influenza vaccine compared to ferrets immunized with PBS or adjuvant alone.

Abstract

The present invention relates to monovalent influenza vaccine formulations and vaccination regimes for immunising against influenza disease, their use in medicine, in particular their use in augmenting immune responses to various antigens, and to methods of preparation. In particular, the invention relates to monovalent influenza immunogenic compositions comprising an influenza antigen or antigenic preparation thereof from an influenza virus strain being associated with a pandemic outbreak or having the potential to be associated with a pandemic outbreak, in combination with an oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant comprising a metabolisable oil, a sterol or a tocopherol such as alphatocopherol, and an emulsifying agent.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the following applications: filing date: October 27, 2006; application number: 200680055376.6; invention title: same as above. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to influenza vaccine preparations and vaccination regimens for immunization against influenza disease, their use in medicine, especially their use in increasing the immune response to various antigens, and to methods of preparation. In particular, the present invention relates to monovalent influenza immunogenic compositions comprising low amounts of influenza virus antigens or antigenic preparations thereof, said influenza virus antigens or antigenic preparations thereof, in combination with an oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant The preparation is obtained from an influenza virus strain that is associated or has the potential to be associated with a pandemic outbreak. Background technique [0003] Influenza viruses are among the most ubiquitous ...
