Absorption characteristics of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant with inactivated enterovirus 71 / 中国生物制品学杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the absorption characteristics of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant with inactivated enterovirus 71(EV71).Methods The morphology,purity and particle size distribution of inactivated EV71 particles were analyzed by transmission electron microscope,size exclusion chromatography HPLC(SEC-HPLC) and dynamic light scatter(DLS),and the morphology of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant nanoparticles was observed by transmission electron microscope.Using inactivated EV71 antigen content(4 000,6 000,8 000,10 000,11 000,12 000,13 000,14 000,20 000,30 000 U/mL),aluminum hydroxide adjuvant concentration [0.35,0.25,0.17,0.085 mg/mL(aluminum content)],adsorption time(0.30 and 120 min),ionic strength(sodium chloride concentration of 0.15,0.75 and 1.25 mol/L)and phosphorus-aluminum molar ratio(P/Al,0.15,0.64,2.08 and 7.87) as variables,the adsorption characteristics of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant with inactivated EV71 antigen were investigated.Results Inactivated EV71 particles mainly existed in the form of intact virus particles with a diameter of about 30 nm;Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant showed the characteristics of nanocrystallization,and the particle size was distributed within 200～700 nm.The inactivated EV71 antigen at the concentration of no more than 11 000 U/mL was completely absorbed by aluminum hydroxide adjuvant of 0.35 mg/mL(aluminum content),and no free antigen was detected in the supernatant;while from 12 000 U/mL,the content of free antigen in the supernatant increased with the increase of antigen content;the inactivated EV71 antigen of 250 U/mL was completely absorbed by various concentrations of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant,and no free antigen was detected in the supernatant;the adsorption effect of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant consistent after incubation for different time,and no free antigen was detected in the supernatant.Under the conditions of single dose of vaccine with aluminum hydroxide content(0.35 mg/mL) and inactivated EV71 antigen content(250 U/mL),sodium chloride ion strength had no effect on the adsorption of inactivated EV71 virus,while phosphate ion concentration significantly effected the adsorption.Conclusion Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant in a single dose of vaccine completely absorbed inactivated EV71 antigen,and group replacement played an important role.
