• Progress in development and application of quadrivalent influenza virus vaccine

    WU Ye-hong;ZHANG Xue-mei;Changchun Institute of Biological Products Co.,Ltd.;

    Influenza is a global infectious disease caused by influenza virus with universal susceptibility in humans.Influenza viruses are classified as types A,B,C and D according to the differences in nucleoprotein(NP) and matrix protein,among which types A and B mainly cause infections in humans. In most influenza seasons,influenza A virus causes the majority of influenza cases,which is considered to pose a greater risk of causing an influenza pandemic.However,influenza B virus also causes a huge public health burden,especially in high-risk groups such as children and the elderly. In addition,since the influenza season from 2001 to 2002,two lineages of influenza B,B/Victoria and B/Yamagata,have changed from alternating epidemics into co-epidemics. When the antigen components of influenza B vaccine are not matched to those of the epidemic strains,the ability of traditional trivalent influenza vaccine in inducing effective protection is limited or in lack. Therefore,in 2012,WHO recommended the substitution of quadrivalent antigen for trivalent antigen as the influenza vaccine component,that is introduction of type B antigen of another lineage.Quadrivalent influenza vaccine(QIV) is helpful to overcoming difficulties in predicting circulating B lineage strains and selecting the components of influenza B vaccines,thereby indirectly improving protective efficacy of the vaccine. At present,QIV from various manufacturers at home and abroad have been marketed,which are mainly classified as inactivated egg/MDCK cells-based vaccine,live attenuated egg-based vaccine and genetic recombinant hemagglutinin(HA)vaccine according to the technical routes of vaccine preparation. This paper reviews the progress in development and application of QIV by various technical routes,in view to providing a reference for the prevention and control of influenza as well as development and application of influenza vaccines.

The immune protection rate was determined by intraperitoneal challenge test,while the colonization of challenge strain in vivo by the number of bacteria loaded in tissue. The lung,liver,spleen and kidney of mice were prepared into pathological sections and observed for pathological change. Results The two inactivated vaccine were qualified in tests for properties,sterility and safety. The serum IgG titer,functional antibody level,related cytokine content,SI as well as the percentage of T lymphocyte subsets in CD4~+ and CD8~+ peripheral blood were significantly higher in groupsⅠand Ⅱ than in group Ⅲ(each P < 0. 05),while showed no significant difference in groupsⅠand Ⅱ(each P > 0. 05). Both the protective rates of the two inactivated vaccines to mice were 100%,while the bacterial colonization levels in lung,liver,spleen and kidney of mice in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ were significantly lower than those in group Ⅲ(P < 0. 05). The pathological changes in various organs were mild. Conclusion The oil emulsion inactivated ER-SS2combined vaccines prepared by two mixing methods induced good humoral and cellular immunities in mice,100% of which protected the mice against challenge with virulent ER,SS2 and ER-SS2 strains.

  • Progress in research on application of human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection in indications and off-label indications

    ZHU Li-yuan;YE Sheng-liang;MA Li;LI Chang-qing;Institute of Blood Transfusion,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences;

    Human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection(IVIG),an important human immunoglobulin product,is widely used in the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases. At present,there are eight indications for IVIG approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA),while only four by the China Food and Drug Administration(CFDA). However,due to the limitation of content of instruction as well as hysteresis and complexity of the revision,IVIG is more commonly used for the treatment of off-label indications in actual clinical diagnosis and treatment at home and abroad. Therefore,this paper reviews the progress in research on application of IVIG in indications and off-label indications,in order to deeply understand the application of IVIG in off-label indications at home and abroad and provide a reference for the rational use of IVIG.

  • Application of surface modification of nanoparticles in development of vaccine adjuvants

    ZHOU Jia;SHEN Li-juan;LIU Ye;Department of Pathology,College of Basic Medicine,Kunming Medical University;

    Vaccination is an effective way to prevent infectious diseases. Vaccines enhance immunity and make indivi-duals resistant to pathogen infection. Though protein subunit vaccine has a good safety,its low immunogenicity makes adjuvant necessary to boost the immune response. As a key factor of increasing immune response of vaccine,the design concept and construction principle of adjuvants are very important for development of effective vaccines. Surface modi-fication can confer prespecified immunomodulatory function on nanomaterial to optimize immune response induced by vaccine. This paper reviews the application of surface modification of nanoparticles in development of vaccine adjuvant.

    Human respiratory syncytial virus(hRSV)is one of the major causes of severe respiratory diseases in infants and the elderly,and the global economic burden caused by hRSV infection is estimated to exceed $80 billion annually.Since the discovery of hRSV in 1950s,extensive research and development have been carried out on hRSV vaccine at home and abroad,though there is still no hRSV vaccine approved. The vaccine has been facing great challenges such as insufficient safety or weak immunogenicity,and several hRSV vaccines have been declared “failures” in clinical trials. In2013,the conformation of prefusion F protein(Pre-F)was successfully analyzed,and then hRSV vaccines based on PreF showed good application prospects. At present,there are 14 vaccines in clinical trials,including live attenuated vaccine,viral carrier vaccine,subunit vaccine and granule vaccine. In this paper,the challenge and the latest progress in research of hRSV vaccine are reviewed.

  • Progress in research on multivalent Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine

    TIAN Yu;MA Ke;SU Xiao-ye;Beijing Zhifei Lvzhu Biopharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.;

    Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the pathogenic bacteria causing extremely high morbidity and mortality,which seriously threatens human life and health. The capsular polysaccharide of S. pneumoniae is immunogenic,which may stimulate the production of protective antibody. However,capsular polysaccharide vaccines can not induce immune memory antibody alone. The polysaccharide combined with carrier protein may induce immune memory antibody and effectively improve the immunogenicity of vaccine to prevent the invasive disease of S. pneumoniae. At present,heptavalent,decavalent and 13-valent S. pneumoniae polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines(pneumococcal conjugate vaccines) have been developed successively,while 15-and 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are also in clinical trials. This article reviews the progress in research on development,preparation methods,influencing factors of immunogenicity and vaccination status in China of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

  • Progress in research on mechanism of let-7a and its target genes in hepatocellular carcinoma

    LIANG Yu;SHEN Tao;The Affiliated Hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology,The First People′s Hospital of Yunnan Province;

    Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors in the world,with high recurrence rate and mortality. In most malignant tumors,microRNAs(miRNAs)have been found to be abnormally expressed,thus affect the occurrence,development,metastasis and recurrence of tumors,which play a regulatory role in life activities such as the occurrence and development of diseases,biological development,organ formation,virus defense,epigenetic regulation and metabolism by targeting various target genes and participating in various signaling pathways. Let-7 is a miRNA. As a member of let-7 family,let-7a is involved in biological processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis and plays the role of tumor suppressor in a variety of cancers. Therefore,this paper reviews the mechanism of let-7A and its target genes in HCC.
