The invention discloses a process for activating a
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
polysaccharide conjugate vaccine, which comprises the following steps of: A, preparing Hib
polysaccharide; B, dissolving 1-Cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridinium
tetrafluoroborate (CDAP) by using
acetonitrile into a solution; C, preparing the Hib
polysaccharide into a solution; D, adding the CDAP solution to the Hib polysaccharide solution, and stirring for 2-5 minutes at the
room temperature; E, dissolving
adipic dihydrazide (ADH) by using NaHCO3 into a solution, adding the ADH solution to a
mixed solution, and stirring for 0.5-2 hours at the
room temperature; and F, collecting eluent of the
void volume from a loading solution after the reaction is ended at a SephadexG-25 gel
chromatography column balanced in advance by water for injection, and performing
freeze drying to obtain a Hib polysaccharide-ADH derivative. The process for activating the Hib polysaccharide
conjugate vaccine has the beneficial effects that the quality index of the prepared Hib polysaccharide-ADH can reach the industrial standard, and moreover, the safe and nontoxic CDAP is adopted to serve as an activating agent instead of
cyanogen bromide which is greatly harmful to human and environment, and therefore, the safety is enhanced, and the harm to the human and the environment are avoided.
