Abstract: The present invention provides a combined vaccine that includes hepatitis B vaccine (HeVac) and Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) for intracutaneous injection and the method of preparation of such vaccine. The combined vaccine changes the now used liquid agent of the HeVac into a cryoprotectant, thus improving the heat stability of the HBsAg. Because of the cryoprotectant in the combined vaccine, the heat stability of the HBsAg is improved, and the efficacy of the vaccine is only slightly decreased after 30 days at 37° C., and the decrease is lower than with the liquid agent of the HeVac. The present invention changes the newborn's inoculation from two injections into one to simultaneously obtain prophylaxis of hepatitis B and tuberculosis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hepatitis A vaccine, especially to a lyophilized attenuated hepatitis A vaccine which can be stored at ambient temperature for extended periods of time, and to a method for producing the same. The present invention further relates to a stabilizer for lyophilized live vaccine and its use in improving thermostability of lyophilized live vaccine during lyophilization processing and storage period after lyophilization.

Abstract: A combined hepatitis A-measles live vaccine, its lyophilized formulations with enhanced storage stability and methods of preparing the same by mixing the viral stocks of hepatitis A virus and measles virus or by propagating the two viruses on same diploid cell substrate are disclosed. The combined live vaccine thus prepared is a useful vaccine for preventing the infections with hepatitis A and measles without causing any interference between antigenicity of the two viruses and any serious adverse events due to their mixing or co-culturing.
