Abstract
Description
Needle-free delivery device
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311787890.0 filed on December 22, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a needle-free delivery device and a drug-device combination product. Background Art
[0003] Needle-free injection technology offers numerous advantages over traditional needle-assisted injection. Despite the availability of a variety of needle-free injection devices on the market, its widespread clinical application in both human and animal healthcare settings remains largely unexplored. This is primarily due to insufficient scientific research on the penetration and delivery performance of needle-free injection, particularly regarding the impact of jet velocity, drug chemical properties, needle-free injection aperture design, and the effects of media such as the epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle on drug penetration and delivery in humans and animals. Existing needle-free injectors typically utilize a single-aperture jet, while research and application of truly effective multi-aperture jet technology remains limited. In the vaccine delivery field, needle-free injection has been clinically studied for inactivated, attenuated, recombinant protein, nucleic acid (mRNA), and DNA vaccines. However, due to unreliable efficacy, it has not been widely adopted in practice. In practice, needle-free delivery devices require high skin adhesion, are prone to leakage due to hair, and face difficulties in precisely controlling the injection location, depth, and diffusion of the drug solution. Because high-pressure jets can be destructive, the jet apertures of current needle-free injection devices on the market are typically smaller than 0.15mm. This limits current needle-free injection technology when larger doses of drugs are required. Furthermore, drug metabolism and vaccine immunogenicity require high-quality three-dimensional diffusion and precise targeting of drugs and vaccines within the body, a challenge currently faced by needle-free injection technology in this area.
[0004] The content of this background technology description is only for facilitating understanding of the relevant technology in this field and is not regarded as an admission of the prior art.
[0005] Summary of the Invention

Embodiments of the present invention also provide related drug-device combination products and needle-free syringes for use in needle-free delivery devices.

[0055] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Here, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

The term "based on" means "based at least in part on." The terms "an example embodiment" and "an embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment." The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment." The terms "first," "second," etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.
[0057] In various embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG1 , a needle-free delivery device is provided, in particular, a needle-free delivery device for drugs and vaccines. The needle-free delivery device may include a tube 100 and a power mechanism 200 (not specifically depicted), wherein the tube 100 is suitable for containing a fluid 130 and has a first end 110 and a second end 120, wherein a piston 210 for pushing the fluid 130 in the tube is provided in the first end 110, and a plurality of holes 121 are provided on the second end 120.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 , the second end 120 of the needle-free delivery device may further include a narrowed section 122 that gradually narrows axially from the tube 100 toward the distal end, and a plurality of holes 121 are provided on an end surface 123 of the narrowed section 122 , wherein the end surface 123 is configured to be circular.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the piston 210 may be provided as an independent component, and the power mechanism 200 is configured to be operatively connected to the piston 210 to apply delivery pressure to the piston 210. It is also conceivable that in other embodiments of the present invention, the power mechanism 200 may be integrally integrated with the piston 210.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving mode of the power mechanism 200 may include any one of compressed gas driving, spring driving, electromagnetic driving, or a combination of the above driving modes. For example, in some embodiments, the power mechanism 200 may be driven by compressed gas, such as compressed nitrogen or compressed carbon dioxide gas, or may be driven by a compressed mechanical spring, or may be driven by a piezoelectric actuator, which is not limited here.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of holes 121 may be provided in the second end 120, i.e., the number of the plurality of holes 121 is greater than or equal to 2. For example, Figures 3 to 5 illustrate the cases where 2, 3, and 4 holes 121 are provided on the second end 120. It is understood that, as shown in Figure 6, a plurality of holes 121 may be similarly arranged on the end surface 123, with the number of the plurality of holes 121 being greater than or equal to 2. The following embodiments of the present invention will all take the arrangement of the second end 120 as an example.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the total area of the plurality of holes is 0.009 mm 2 Above, preferably 0.020mm 2 More preferably 0.053 mm 2 The single hole area of the hole is 0.0028~0.035mm 2 , preferably 0.0028~0.020mm 2 , more preferably 0.0028 to 0.009 mm 2 .
[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the needle-free delivery device of the present invention can deliver 0.3 mm at a time without causing skin damage. 3 The volume of the drug or vaccine (pre-delivery volume) is preferably 1.0 mm 3 More than the volume (pre-delivery volume) of the drug or vaccine, more preferably 5.0mm 3 In some embodiments, the volume of the drug or vaccine delivered by the needle-free delivery device of the present invention at one time (the volume before delivery) can reach 14.0 mm 3 In a further embodiment, the volume of the drug or vaccine delivered by the needle-free delivery device of the present invention at one time (volume before delivery) can reach 46.0 mm 3 .
[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, compared to manual needle injection (the pushing speed of the piston inside the needle tube is about 0.01 m / s), the piston speed of the needle-free delivery device 210 of the present invention when pushing the fluid 130 in the tube 100 is greater than or equal to 10 times the piston speed of manual needle injection. The piston speed of the piston 210 when pushing the fluid 130 is 0.05 m / s to 0.50 m / s, preferably 0.13 m / s to 0.15 m / s, and more preferably 0.14 m / s to 0.20 m / s.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, compared to manual needle injection (in which the outlet jet velocity of the fluid ejected from the needle is about 2 m / s), the outlet jet velocity of the fluid 130 in the needle-free delivery device of the present invention when being pushed away from the plurality of holes 121 in the second end 120 by the piston 210 is greater than or equal to 10 m / s, preferably greater than or equal to 50 m / s, more preferably greater than or equal to 100 m / s, and more preferably greater than or equal to 150 m / s.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the needle-free delivery device is configured so that the fluid jets passing through the multiple holes 121 have different in vivo diffusivities; preferably, the apertures d of the multiple holes 121 of the needle-free delivery device are configured so that the fluid jets passing through the multiple holes 121 have different in vivo diffusivities; preferably, the fluid jet velocities v passing through the multiple holes 121 of the needle-free delivery device are configured so that the fluid jets passing through the multiple holes 121 have different in vivo diffusivities.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, compared to existing manual needle injections (in which the injected fluid hardly diffuses in the body), the needle-free delivery device of the embodiments of the present invention allows the fluid 130 pushed out of the multiple holes 121 in the second end 120 by the piston 210 to have different diffusion in the body and different diffusion degrees.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the diffusivity refers to a comprehensive concept that describes the distribution characteristics of fluid in the body. Specifically, the diffusivity may include the fluid's diffusion volume ratio, diffusion depth, diffusion center, and edge liquid distribution density.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diffusion volume ratio refers to the ratio of the volume of the diffusion area of the fluid delivered by the needle-free delivery device in the body to the original volume of the fluid not delivered, that is:
[0070] In other embodiments of the present invention, the diffusion volume ratio may also refer to the ratio of the diffusion volume of the fluid delivered by the needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention to the diffusion volume of the fluid delivered by manual needle injection, that is:
[0071] The diffusion volume of the delivery fluid can be calculated in a variety of ways, which are not limited here. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, a fluorescent marker can be added to the drug or vaccine in advance, and then scanned by medical imaging technology and image analysis software can be used to calculate the volume of the diffusion area. For example, the envelope diagram of the diffusion area can be calculated to estimate the volume of the diffusion area.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diffusion depth refers to the farthest distance from the body surface to the diffusion area of the fluid injected without needle; the diffusion center refers to the three-dimensional center of the diffusion area formed in the body by the fluid injected without needle, such as the centroid of the three-dimensional area, which is not limited here.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the needle-free delivery device is configured such that the diffusion volume of the fluid 130 in the body is greater than the volume of the non-delivered fluid or the volume of the fluid delivered with a needle. Preferably, the diffusion volume of the fluid in the body is more than 1.50 times the non-delivered volume, preferably more than 1.80 times, further preferably more than 2.40 times, more preferably more than 3.00 times, and even more preferably more than 3.60 times.
[0074] It is understandable that when the delivery fluid enters the body through the needle-free delivery device, the three-dimensional spatial area of its distribution becomes larger due to the diffusion of the fluid in the body. This diffusion process will increase the surface area of contact between the fluid, especially the drug or vaccine, and the tissues in the body, thereby improving the bioavailability and efficacy of the drug.
[0075] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can, under the guidance of the embodiments of the present invention, confirm the corresponding diffusion degrees of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous layer, muscle and human organs in the body of the inoculated object according to the needle-free delivery inoculated object, including but not limited to different types of animals or patients with different physical conditions.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of holes includes a first hole.
[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the first hole has a first pore size, and the size of the first pore size is configured to allow the fluid jet passing through the first hole to diffuse in at least one of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and human organs. Preferably, the multiple holes have the same pore size, such as the first pore size.
[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the first hole has a first outlet jet velocity, and the first outlet jet velocity is configured to cause the fluid jet passing through the first hole to diffuse in at least one of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and human organs. Preferably, multiple holes have the same outlet jet velocity, such as the first outlet jet velocity.
[0079] In other embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of holes include a first hole and a second hole.
[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the first hole has a first pore size, the size of which is configured such that the fluid jet passing through the first hole diffuses into at least one of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and human organs; the second hole has a second pore size, the size of which is configured such that the fluid jet passing through the second hole diffuses into at least one of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and human organs. Preferably, the pore sizes of the plurality of holes can be configured to be unequal, for example, the plurality of holes may include a first hole and at least one second hole, wherein the first hole has a first pore size d1 and the second hole has a second pore size d2, wherein d1≠d2.
[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the first hole has a first outlet jet velocity, which is configured so that the fluid jet passing through the first hole diffuses in at least one of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and human organs; the second hole has a second outlet jet velocity, which is configured so that the fluid jet passing through the second hole diffuses in at least one of the dermis, epidermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and human organs. Preferably, the jet velocities of the fluid 130 passing through the multiple holes can also be configured to be unequal, for example, the first hole has a first outlet jet velocity v1, and the second hole has a second outlet jet velocity v2, where v1≠v2.

[0229] (1) The needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention uses multiple holes for needle-free delivery. Compared with the traditional single-hole needle-free injection, the present invention uses a multi-hole setting to achieve a significant increase in the delivery amount of the delivery object without causing damage to the skin, especially increasing the single delivery amount of drugs and vaccines. It has a delivery efficiency far higher than the existing single-hole needle-free delivery and can meet a wider range of application scenarios.
[0230] (2) The needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention uses multiple holes for needle-free delivery. By optimizing the number and pore size of the multiple holes, the diffusion volume of the delivered substances, especially drugs and vaccines, in the body is significantly increased, thereby increasing the contact effect between the delivered drugs and vaccines and the tissues in the body, and significantly improving the bioavailability of drugs and vaccines.
[0231] (3) The needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention achieves precise control of the delivery depth of the delivered drug or vaccine by controlling the jet velocity of the delivery material ejected from the multiple holes, especially the jet velocity of the drug and vaccine jet, and achieves precise delivery of the drug or vaccine to the designated target location within the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle or human organ through high-speed jet according to the characteristics of the drug or vaccine.
[0232] (4) The needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention achieves the simultaneous and precise delivery of the delivery substance to at least one or more target locations or target areas within the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle or human organs by configuring the jet speed of different holes in the multiple holes.
[0233] (5) The needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention achieves different diffusion effects of the delivered substance, especially drugs or vaccines, at the delivery location by controlling the aperture and arrangement of the multiple holes. In particular, it achieves control of the diffusion volume ratio, diffusion width and diffusion center at the target location or target area, and can achieve specific diffusion effects according to different delivery requirements.
[0234] (6) The needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the site and receptor type of drug and vaccine delivery, and can be widely used for drug and vaccine delivery for human and veterinary use.
[0235] In addition to solving the above-mentioned problems and / or achieving the above-mentioned effects, the present invention is also used in combination with a cat triple vaccine, a hepatitis B vaccine, a human pneumonia vaccine, a GLP-1 peptide, especially semaglutide, to achieve further technical effects as described in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0236] Example 1
[0237] Reference is now made to Figures 32 and 33, which illustrate one structural configuration of a needle-free delivery device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the second end 120 has a narrowed section 122 that gradually narrows from the axial direction of the tube 100 toward the distal end. Three holes 121 are provided on the end surface 123 of the narrowed section 122. The end surface 123 is configured as a circle with a diameter of 2.5 mm. The three holes 121 are arranged in an annular pattern at equal intervals around the center of the end surface 123. Adjacent lines connecting the three holes and the center of the end surface 123 form an angle of 120°. The three holes 121 have a uniform diameter of d and a uniform distance from the center of the end surface 123 of l.
[0238] Referring now to FIG. 34 , under the structure of the needle-free delivery device described above, an embodiment of the present invention utilizes the ANSYS workbench Fluent module shown in FIG. 34 to construct a needle-free injection diffusion penetration simulation model. A multiphase flow model is employed to simulate the diffusion of the fluid 130 contained in the tube 100 when the power mechanism 200 applies a delivery pressure of 400 N to the fluid 130. The volume of the fluid 130 to be delivered is 0.2 cm 3 , and the viscosity is 1 cp. The needle-free injection diffusion penetration simulation model utilizes a transient calculation method, an Eulerian model for the multiphase flow model, a K-epsilon Realizable model for the viscosity model, and a porous medium model for the in vivo model 140. Hybrid initialization is employed as the initialization method.
[0239] Under the above structure and simulation parameters, the diameters d of the three holes 121 and the distances l between the three holes 121 and the center of the end surface 123 are further configured to obtain the following porous needle-free delivery fluid diffusion data under different configurations:
[0240] Table 1. Fluid diffusion data for porous needle-free delivery
[0241] Table 1 above and Figures 35 to 37 illustrate the diffusion effect achieved by a needle-free delivery device according to one embodiment of the present invention using multiple holes 121. The present invention achieves different diffusion degrees of fluid 130 within the body 140, such that the fluid jets of fluid 130 passing through the multiple holes 121 achieve different diffusion volume ratios, diffusion depths, and diffusion widths within the body 10. Figure 35 shows the diffusion effect at d = 0.15 mm and l = 0.65 mm, Figure 36 shows the diffusion effect at d = 0.575 mm and l = 0.65 mm, and Figure 37 shows the diffusion effect at d = 1.00 mm and l = 0.65 mm.
[0242] At the same time, as shown in Figures 35 to 37, when the needle-free delivery device of an embodiment of the present invention delivers a fluid into the body, due to the different diffusion volume ratios, diffusion depths, and diffusion widths of the fluid in the body, the fluid will also have different diffusion centers and diffusion edge densities in the body.
[0243] Compared with the needle-free delivery of the control group, the porous needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention makes the diffusion volume of the delivery fluid 130 in the simulated body 140 2.09 to 2.77 times that before delivery, achieving a better diffusion effect for the delivery fluid. In other words, it achieves more sufficient contact between the delivery fluid and the target site in the body.
[0244] Example 2
[0245] Reference is now made to Figures 32 and 33 , which illustrate one structural configuration of a needle-free delivery device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the second end 120 has a narrowed section 122 that gradually narrows from the axial direction of the tube 100 toward the distal end. The end surface 123 of the narrowed section 122 is configured as a circle with a diameter of 5 mm and is provided with a central hole 121″ located at the center (center) of the end surface 123 and three peripheral holes 121 located around the central hole 121″. The three peripheral holes 121 are arranged in an annular manner with equal intervals around the center (center) of the end surface 123. The three peripheral holes 121 form an angle of 120° between adjacent lines connecting the three peripheral holes 121 and the center (center) of the end surface 123. The diameter of the central hole 121″ is d″, and the diameter of the three peripheral holes 121 is uniformly set to d, with d″≠d. The distance between the three peripheral holes 121 and the center (center) of the end surface 123 is uniformly set to 1.1 mm.
[0246] Referring now to FIG34 , under the structure of the needle-free delivery device described above, an embodiment of the present invention utilizes the ANSYS workbench Fluent module shown in FIG34 to construct a needle-free injection diffusion penetration simulation model. A multiphase flow model is employed to simulate the diffusion of the fluid 130 contained in the tube 100 when the power mechanism 200 applies a delivery pressure of 400 N to the fluid 130. The viscosity of the fluid 130 to be delivered is 1 cp. The needle-free injection diffusion penetration simulation model utilizes a transient calculation method, an Eulerian model for the multiphase flow model, a K-epsilon Realizable model for the viscosity model, and a porous medium model for the in vivo model 140. Hybrid initialization is employed as the initialization method.
[0247] Under the above structure and simulation parameters, the diameter d' of the central hole 121' and the diameter d' of the three peripheral holes 121 are further configured, and the volume of the delivered fluid is 0.1 cm 3 , 0.2cm 3 and 0.3cm 3 , three sets of simulated experimental fluids were conducted to obtain the following porous needle-free delivery fluid diffusivity data:
[0248] Table 2. Group 1 - Porous Needle-Free Delivery Fluid Diffusion Data
[0249] Note: The volume of fluid to be delivered in this group is 0.1 cm 3 .
[0250] Table 3. Group 2 - Porous Needle-Free Delivery Fluid Diffusion Data
[0251] Note: The volume of fluid to be delivered in this group is 0.2 cm 3 .
[0252] Table 4. Group 3 - Porous Needle-Free Delivery Fluid Diffusion Data
[0253] Note: The volume of fluid to be delivered in this group is 0.3 cm 3 .
[0254] Tables 2 to 4 above and Figures 38 and 39 illustrate the diffusion effect achieved by a needle-free delivery device according to one embodiment of the present invention utilizing multiple holes 121. The provision of a central hole 121" and three peripheral holes 121 enables the fluid jet of the fluid 130 passing through the multiple holes to achieve a significantly enhanced diffusion effect compared to single-hole needle-free delivery. Specifically, the needle-free delivery device according to the embodiment of the present invention enables the diffusion volume of the delivered fluid 130 in the simulated body 140 to be 2.35 to 3.61 times greater than that before delivery. Furthermore, as can be seen from Table 2 and Figure 39, at a diffusion width of 0.1 cm, the needle-free delivery device according to the present invention achieves a significantly superior diffusion width compared to a single hole, achieving a significantly enhanced diffusion effect for the delivered fluid. In other words, more complete contact between the delivered fluid and the target site in the body is achieved.

The end surface 123 of the narrowed section 122 is configured as a circle with a diameter of 2.5 mm and is provided with three holes 121. The three holes 121 are arranged in an annular shape at equal intervals around the center of the end surface 123. Adjacent lines connecting the three holes and the center (center) of the end surface 123 form an angle of 120°. The diameter of the three holes 121 is uniformly set to 0.15 mm, and the distance from the center of the end surface 123 is uniformly set to 1.1 mm.
[0257] Under the structure of the needle-free delivery device, a specific embodiment of the present invention adopts a viscosity of 1 cp and a volume of 0.2 cm 3 The delivery fluid was tested to obtain the displacement change curve of the piston 210 of the needle-free delivery device of the present invention, and the movement speed of the piston 210 and the outlet jet speed of the jets ejected from the multiple holes 121 were obtained accordingly as follows:

Referring to Figures 32 to 33, one structural configuration of the needle-free delivery device of the embodiment of the present invention used in combination with a hepatitis B vaccine is shown. Specifically, the second end 120 has a narrowed section 122 that narrows axially from the tube 100 toward the distal end, wherein the diameter of the tube is 5 mm, and the end surface 123 of the narrowed section 122 is constructed as a circle with a diameter of 2.5 mm and is provided with three holes 121 thereon. The three holes 121 are arranged in an annular manner with equal intervals around the center of the end surface 123, and adjacent lines connecting the three holes and the center of the end surface 123 form an angle of 120°, wherein the measured pore diameters of the three holes 121 are 0.14 mm to 0.17 mm, and the distance between the three holes 121 and the center of the end surface 123 is uniformly set to 1.25 mm.
[0298] In the embodiments of the present invention, the hepatitis B vaccine refers to a recombinant yeast vaccine (Hansenula) for preventing hepatitis B (a viral liver disease). It is prepared by purifying the hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) expressed by recombinant Hansenula and adding an aluminum adjuvant. The active ingredient is the hepatitis B virus surface antigen. The vaccine is suitable for people susceptible to hepatitis B, especially the following people: (1) newborns, especially those whose mothers are HBsAg or HBeAg positive, (2) people susceptible to hepatitis B aged 16 years and above, and (3) medical staff engaged in medical work and laboratory personnel who come into contact with blood. After vaccination, the immune system can be stimulated to produce protective antibodies, thereby giving the human body immunity to prevent hepatitis B, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing hepatitis B infection. The conventional immunization site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The immunization program is 3 injections, one at birth (0 months), one at 1-2 months of age, and one at 6-18 months of age. Newborns are given the first injection within 24 hours after birth, and each injection is one dose.
[0299] The following is a specific immunological evaluation test of the needle-free delivery device of the present invention. Under the structural configuration of the needle-free delivery device of the present invention, a needle-free injection immunological evaluation test of hepatitis B vaccine was conducted according to the following experimental protocol:
[0300] 1. Preparation before the test
[0301] 1.1. Experimental Materials: 64 male mice (BALB / c strain), weighing 17-19 g and aged 3 to 4 weeks, were selected and blood was collected after one week of acclimatization.
[0302] 1.2. Test equipment: The needle-free delivery device according to the above embodiment of the present invention traditionally has a needle, a medical cotton swab and an alcohol cotton pad.
[0303] 2. Test methods
[0304] 2.1. Animal grouping: The 64 mice were divided into 8 groups of 8 mice each, including 6 experimental groups and 2 control groups.
[0305] Table 10. Control trial group table
[0306] 2.2 Blood collection plan:
[0307] Mice were immunized according to the D0 / D21 immunization schedule, and blood was collected and serum was separated on D0 / D28 / D35 / D42 after immunization.
[0308] At the beginning of the experiment: On the morning of the experiment, shave the hair on the back and legs of the mice with an electric razor and depilatory cream. Before inoculation, blood was collected from all mice using the retroorbital bleeding method, with a blood volume of 0.2 ml per mouse.
[0309] After one vaccination: the second vaccination was performed on the 21st day; the second blood collection was performed on the 28th day, with peripheral blood collected from a group of 10 mice and spleen collected from six mice; the third blood collection was performed on all mice on the 35th day; the fourth blood collection was performed on the 42nd day, with peripheral blood collected from a group of 10 mice and spleen collected from six mice.
[0310] 2.3 Neutralization experiment
[0311] Neutralization endpoint was calculated using the Karber method (serum dilution converted to logarithms). The highest serum dilution that protected 50% of cells from infection with 100 CCID50 of the challenge virus was considered the serum antibody titer. A neutralizing antibody titer of <1:4 was considered negative, and ≥1:4 was considered positive.
[0312] Operating procedures (fixed virus dilution serum method):
[0313] (1) Inactivation of serum: Inactivate the serum to be tested at 56°C for 30 minutes
[0314] (2) Dilute serum: Take inactivated serum and dilute it with serum-free cell culture medium on a 96-well microplate. Make a series of serial dilutions starting from 1:4, tentatively (1:4, 1:28, 1:56, 1:128, 1:256...). The content of each well is 50 μL, and 2 to 4 wells are used for each dilution.
[0315] (3) Neutralization: Add 50 μL of diluted 200 TCID50 virus solution to each well and place in a CO2 incubator at 37°C for 2 h.
[0316] (4) Add cell suspension: After 2 hours of serum and virus neutralization, remove the cell plate and add 0.1 mL / well cell suspension to each well (it is best to allow the monolayer to grow for 24 hours, generally 1 million to 1.5 million cells per mL), place in a CO2 incubator for culture, and make a judgment after 72 hours.
[0317] 2.4 Control Experiment
[0318] (1) Negative and positive serum controls: 2 to 4 wells are set up for each. The titer of the negative and positive control antibodies should be established.
[0319] (2) Virus regression test: Dilute the 200 TCID50 virus solution into 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 TCID50 dilutions, and add 50 μL of each dilution to 2 to 4 wells. Add 50 μL of cell suspension. 0.1 TCID50 results in no pathological changes, while 100 TCID50 results in complete pathological changes. Otherwise, the experiment is invalid.
[0320] (3) Cell control: Set up 2 to 4 wells of normal cell control without virus and serum. The control cells should maintain good morphology and characteristics.
[0321] 2.5. Result determination and calculation
[0322] Only when the virus regression test, positive, negative, and cell controls are all established can the test be judged. 100% CPE in the serum wells tested is considered negative, and more than 50% of the cells are protected as positive. The results are calculated using the Karber method.
[0323] 3. Cell level detection
[0324] The spleens of mice were collected to determine the contents of various T and B cells in mice.
[0325] 3.1. Detection of T lymphocyte surface molecular markers:
[0326] Flow cytometry was used to detect T lymphocyte surface markers. Refrigerated mouse spleen cells were thawed in a water bath at 37°C to prepare a single-cell suspension (1 × 107 cells / ml). 0.1 ml was transferred to a falcon tube and CD3-FITC Ab, CD4-PE Ab, and CD8-PE Ab were added. The tubes were placed in a dark place at room temperature for 30 minutes, washed twice with PBS, and mixed with 0.5 ml of PBS. The positive expression rates of CD3-FITC, CD4-PE, and CD8-PE on T lymphocytes were analyzed using CELLQuest software, and the CD4 / CD8 ratio was calculated.
[0327] 3.2 Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay:
[0328] After blood collection, the supernatant was collected from the ELISPOT plate and stored at -80°C for 24 hours prior to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Protein expression levels were measured at 450 nm using a Biotek enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The absorbance of each cytokine or chemokine was divided by the absorbance of the pre-vaccination sample as a baseline control to calculate the fold change in cytokine and chemokine expression. Cellular immune responses were assessed by ELISPOT analysis of T cells producing hepatitis B surface antigen-specific IFN-γ, IL-2, and IL-4.

Comparison between Group 1 and Group 2: Under the same dosing conditions (1x) and frequency (daily), Group 2 (needle-free delivery) achieved a 4% greater overall weight loss than Group 1 (needle-delivered delivery). Furthermore, Group 2 demonstrated a longer-lasting effect, with a delayed rebound effect compared to Group 1.
[0383] b. Comparison between Group 3 and Group 4: Under the conditions of higher dose (10x) and lower frequency (weekly), the total weight loss rate of Group 4 (no needle delivery) was 5.5% greater than that of Group 3 (with needle delivery).
[0384] Example 7
[0385] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the needle-free delivery device of the present invention is used in combination with a polypeptide tumor vaccine. Referring to Figures 32 and 33, one structural configuration of the needle-free delivery device of the present invention in combination with a polypeptide tumor vaccine is shown. Specifically, the second end 120 has a narrowed section 122 that narrows axially from the tube 100 toward the distal end, wherein the diameter of the tube is 5 mm, and the end surface 123 of the narrowed section 122 is constructed as a circle with a diameter of 2.5 mm and is provided with three holes 121 thereon. The three holes 121 are arranged in an annular manner at equal intervals around the center of the end surface 123, and adjacent lines connecting the three holes and the center of the end surface 123 form an angle of 120°, wherein the measured pore diameters of the three holes 121 are 0.14 mm to 0.17 mm, and the distance between the three holes 121 and the center of the end surface 123 is uniformly set to 1.25 mm.
[0386] In the embodiments of the present invention, the polypeptide tumor vaccine is a new type of vaccine, which is essentially an immunogen that induces an effector cell immune response in the body. The tumor polypeptide vaccine is an antigen polypeptide eluted from the surface of tumor cells or a related polypeptide obtained from tumor cells that can enhance the body's anti-tumor humoral immunity and cellular immunity after immunization. Currently, the most widely studied tumor polypeptide vaccines include vaccines targeting folate receptors (FR) or HER2 targets.
[0387] The following is a specific polypeptide tumor vaccine rat immunization test using the needle-free delivery device of the present invention. The polypeptide tumor vaccine rat immunization test was conducted using the needle-free delivery device of the present invention according to the following experimental protocol:
[0388] 1. Test materials
[0389] 1.1. Experimental Animals
[0390] Sixty healthy male C57BL / 6 mice, aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 18-22 grams, were selected and divided into six experimental groups (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, and G6) using a random number table method (10 mice in each group).
[0391] 1.2 Test equipment:
[0392] Neoantigens and positive control polypeptides, as well as a needle-free delivery device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the pore diameter is 0.14-0.17 mm and the delivery pressure is 160N.
[0393] 2. Immunity test
[0394] 2.1 Experimental arrangement:
[0395] Three or four rounds of immune tests were performed in groups according to Table 6 below:
[0396] Table 11. Information of the peptide tumor vaccine rat immunization test
[0397] 3. Effect detection
[0398] 3.1. Detection method: After immunization, spleen cells from mice were taken for 4 rounds of ELISPOT detection.
[0399] 3.2 Test results:
[0400] a. After three / four rounds of immunization, positive signals of the new antigen group can be detected by Elispot assay, but the signals are weak.
[0401] b. There was no statistical difference in the number of parity spots between the needle-free injection group and the needle-injection group.
[0402] c. After the fourth round of immunization, the number of spots in each experimental group was lower than in the third round. Regarding the reduction ratio, the needle-free neoantigen group had 10% fewer spots than the needle-treated neoantigen group and 20% fewer spots than the positive peptide group. This indicates that the effectiveness of the needle-free plus neoantigen peptide vaccine lasts longer than the other two groups.
[0403] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
