Preparation of Streptococcus pneumonia type 3 capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccine / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To prepare Streptococcus pneumonia type 3 capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccine.Methods:Strep-tococcus pneumonia type 3 capsular polysaccharide was covalently linked to protein CRM197 and its immunogenicity was evaluated in infant mice.Results:Through the preliminary research, we found that the polysaccharide was treated with 0.2 mol/L acetic acid at 85℃ for 1 h,activation grade reached to 10.0,and the radio of polysaccharide and protein was 20∶10,could induce infant mice to produce the high titers of antibodies.Conclusion:This result shows that conjugate vaccine prepared under this condition retained intact antigenicity.It is applicable to prepare Streptococcus pneumonia type 3 capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccine by the process condi-tions.
