    Objective To compare the influences of various activating reagents, carrier proteins and immune schedules on immunogenicity of group W135 meningococcal conjugate in mice. Methods Group W135 meningococcal polysaccharide derivative was prepared using CNBr and CDAP as activating agents respectively and ADH as linking arm, and conjugated to tetanus toxoid(TT), diphtheria toxoid(DT)and recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A(r EPA)using EDAC as condensation reagent respectively to obtain six kinds of conjugates, of which the immunogenicity in mice by four(at weeks 0, 2, 4 and 6) and three(at weeks 0, 4 and 8) dose immune schedules were compared. Results Both the activating agents effectively activated the polysaccharide without any damage to antigenicity. All the six kinds of conjugates showed good antigenicity in mice in a dose-dependent manner. Various activating agents and carrier proteins showed no significant influence on the immunogenicity of conjugates inoculated at a dosage of 2. 5 μg by three-dose schedule. However, the enhance effect of conjugate using DT as carrier protein was weaker than those using TT and r EPA.The increase of time interval of inoculation enhanced the immunogenicity of conjugates in mice significantly. Conclusion The conjugation procedure for group W135 meningococcal conjugate was preliminarily developed, which provided a novel alternative immune schedule for study on immunogenicity of the conjugates in mice.

Costar 42592 was used as microplate, which was blocked with blocking solution containing 1% bovine serum albumin(BSA) at 37 ℃ for 2 h. The time for color development was 2 h. After absorption with various concentrations of Hia CPS or CPS-Tyr, the inhibition rate of Hia positive serum was significantly concentration-dependent, which was 0 ~ 100%. The antigenicity of Hia CPS-Tyr was consistent with that of CPS. However, the inhibition rate of Hia positive serum by Haemophilus influenzae type b(Hib)CPS at the same concentration was 0. The dilution of sera was negatively related to the antibody titer, with a k approximate value of-1 and a R2 value of 0. 998. Both the CVs in intra- and inter-assays were 8. 8% and 10. 9% respectively.Conclusion The developed indirect ELISA method showed high specificity, linearity and precision, which was suitable for the determination of Hia CPS-specific IgG content in mouse sera.

    WANG Xiao;GU Li-juan;LI Jing-tao;WANG Jia-feng;Jilin Institute for Quality Control of Foods;

    Objective To develop a reverse high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method for determination of free trace formaldehyde in influenza virus split vaccine. Methods The condition for derivation was optimized, based on which the free formaldehyde in 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine(DNPH)-derived influenza virus split vaccine was determined by revere HPLC. TC-C18 column(250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) was served, using acetonitrile-water(45 ∶ 55) as mobile phase. The sample load, flow rate, detection wavelength and column temperature were 10 μl, 1. 0 ml / min, 360 nm and35 ℃ respectively. The wavelength for detection of DNPH derivative was determined, based on which the developed method was verified for linearity, accuracy, precision, stability and reproducibility, and determined for quantitative and detection limits. Four batches of influenza virus split vaccine from various manufacturers were determined for trace formaldehyde by the method, of which two batches were derived at first, and the other two batches were determined directly. Results The optimal derivation solution, derivation temperature and reaction time were 5 mol / L phosphoric acid, 20 ℃ and 30 min respectively. The detection wavelength for DNPH derivative was 360 nm. The formaldehyde concentration within a range of 10. 02 ~ 250. 5 ng / ml showed good linear relationship to the peak area(r = 0. 999 8).The mean recovery rate of six samples of DNPH derivatives was 99. 93%, with a RSD of 0. 34%. The mean peak area of DNPH derivative samples loaded for six times was 724. 15, with a RSD of 0. 74%. The mean content of trace formaldehyde in six tests at various time points was 8. 04 μg / ml, with a RSD of 0. 98%, which was stable within 24 h. However, the mean content of trace formaldehyde in six samples of the same batch was 8. 06 μg / ml, with a RSD of 0. 68%. The minimum detection limit of trace formaldehyde was 0. 01 μg / ml, while the quantitative limit was 0. 03 μg / ml. All the contents of trace formaldehyde in four batches of influenza virus split vaccine were less than the standard of 50 μg / ml in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Volume Ⅲ, 2010 edition). Conclusion The developed reverse HPLC method was simple,effective and sensitive, which was suitable for determination of free trace formaldehyde in influenza virus split vaccine.

    Objective To analyze the abilities of cold ethanol fractionation and pressure filtration in removal of human parvovirus B19 during the production of plasma-derived proteins. Methods Samples were taken in the major process of cold ethanol fractionation and pressure filtration. The pooled plasma was determined for B19 content, based on which the process samples produced from pooled plasma at B19 content of not less than 103 IU / ml were determined for B19 content, to analyze the ability of major process in removal of B19. Results In the processes from pooled plasma to F_(Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ)supernatant and from the solution of FⅠ+ Ⅱ + Ⅲprecipitate to F_(Ⅰ+ Ⅲ)supernatant, more than 4 log of B19 virus was removed.However, in the process from F _(Ⅰ+ Ⅲ)supernatant to IVIG product, more than 2. 86 log of B19 virus was removed.Conclusion B19 virus can be removed efficiently by cold ethanol fractionation with pressure filtration used for separation of human albumin and immunoglobulin. The B19 safety of human albumin and immunoglobulin can be guaranteed by cold ethanol fractionation process together with virus removal and inactivation techniques, however, for coagulation factor products, the load of B19 virus in pooled plasma should be controlled.

    The mortality of acute respiratory infections is only below those of cardiovascular diseases, which has become a serious public health problem. There are several kinds of vaccines against the pneumonia associated pathogens in market or in development. However, effective vaccines against Mycoplasma pneumonia are rarely reported. The special structure of M. pneumoniae makes it is difficult to be treated effectively by conventional drugs, resulting in that the incidence increased year by year. The research on the related mechanism as well as methods for prevention and treatment of pneumoniais caused by M. pneumonia has become a hot spot, and it is more and more important to decrease the risk of disease by development of the relevant vaccines.
