AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides methods and compositions for preserving bioactive materials in a stable state for storage. The methods involve expanding a foam made of a polyol or polymer in a solvent with a foaming agent and a bioactive material, and then either freeze drying or vacuum drying the foam to create a dry foam composition. The resulting dry foam composition can contain lipid membranes or not, and can be used to preserve various bioactive materials such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, and viruses. The methods provide a way to maintain the bioactive materials' lipid membranes and glass transition properties, and the resulting dry foam composition can be stored for extended periods of time.

Problems solved by technology

In the prior art, foaming action can be rapid, violent, and difficult to control.
This can result in foams lacking uniformity in moisture content and glass transition properties.

Preservation of Live Attenuated Virus

[0123]This example describes a composition that maintained protein integrity and stability after storage at 37° C. for 125 days.

[0124]Monovalent live attenuated influenza virusB / Harbin (CAZ039 lot) was formulated as an 8.0 log FFU / ml titer solution (˜10 microgram / ml total protein concentration of viral stock solution) containing 40% sucrose, 5% gelatin, 0.02% Pluronic F68, 25 mM 7.2 pH KPO4 buffer. One mL aliquots of this solution were then dispensed into 10 mL glass lyophilization vials, partially covered with lyophilization stoppers, and lyophilized using a VirTis Genesis 25EL lyophilizer (available from VirTis, Gardiner, N.Y.) according to the following cycle conditions:[0125]1) Pre-cool shelves to 15° C. (with desiccant on lyophilizer shelf with the condenser set at −60° C.);[0126]2) Load vials and allow to equilibrate for 30 minutes;[0127]3) Set vacuum to 50 mTorr;[0128]4) Hold for 60 minutes;[0129]5) Ramp to 33° C. at about 0.7° C. / minute;[...
