    ZHANG Hui;MAO Qun-ying;LIANG Zheng-lun;XU-Miao;National Institutes for Food and Drug Control;

    Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19)caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)seriously threatens human health and public health safety.Vaccination plays an important role in effectively controlling the epidemic situation.More than 150 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have entered the clinical trial stage and 38 have been approved for emergency use or marketing.Neutralizing antibody level is the main index for evaluation of the immunogenicity of vaccines,but there has been no standardized detection method for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody till now,which makes it difficult to compare the neutralizing antibody levels among different laboratories and different products horizontally,and seriously restricts the development and evaluation of vaccines and antibody therapeutic drugs.With the rapid sale of the first generation of standards for SARS-CoV-2 antibody and the emergence of variants of concern(VOC)of SARS-CoV-2,WHO and China carried out the development of the second generation of standards simultaneously in 2022.This paper reviews the development and application progress of the standards for SARS-CoV-2 antibody in WHO and China.

  • Present situation and prospect of development and vaccination of acellular pertussis vaccine

    CUI Le-le;CHEN Zhi-yun;HE Qiu-shui;Department of Medical Microbiology,School of Basic Medical Sciences,Capital Medical University;

    Whooping cough(pertussis)is a highly contagious respiratory disease,which mainly affects infants and young children.Vaccination is an effective measure to prevent pertussis infection.Due to the fewer side effects,acellular pertussis vaccines(aPVs)have replaced whole-cell pertussis vaccine(wPVs)in many countries.Despite vaccination coverage is high,the short immunity induced by aPVs is considered to be significant reason for the re-emergence of pertussis.For improving pertussis vaccine,genetically detoxified vaccine and live attenuated vaccine have showed obvious clinical results and other strategies including using novel adjuvants in aPVs,increasing antigen or packaging aPVs with nanoparticles also have good prospects.This paper reviews the antigen composition and protective effects of aPVs,vaccination programs in different countries,potential candidate components of pertussis vaccine and new strategies for prevention of pertussis.
