  • Publication number: 20140302090
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an influenza antigen preparation obtainable by the following process, in the manufacture of an intradermal flu vaccine: (i) harvesting of virus-containing material from a culture; (ii) clarification of the harvested material to remove non-virus material; (iii) concentration of the harvested virus; (iv) a further step to separate whole virus from non-virus material; (v) splitting of the whole virus using a suitable splitting agent in a density gradient centrifugation step; (vi) filtration to remove undesired materials; wherein the steps are performed in that order but not necessarily consecutively.

  • Patent number: 8557251
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a trivalent, non-live influenza antigen preparation, particularly a split influenza preparation, in the manufacture of a one-dose influenza vaccine for intradermal delivery. In particular, the invention relates to the use of split influenza preparations wherein the vaccine comprises at least one non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of the octyl-or nonylphenoxy polyoxyethanols (for example the commercially available Triton™ series), polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters (Tween™ series) and polyoxyethylene ethers or esters of general formula (I): HO(CH2CH2O)n-A-R, wherein n is 1-50, A is a bond or —C(O)—, R is C1-50 alkyl or phenyl C1-50 alkyl; and combinations of two or more of these.

  • Publication number: 20040213806
    Abstract: A novel vaccine composition is provided which comprises: (a) a Salmonella typhi purified Vi polysaccharide; and (b) at least one other antigen wherein the vaccine components are stable and do not interfere with each other. The vaccine composition thus makes possible a single vaccination for protection against typhoid and other diseases such as hepatitis A, that travellers are prone to catch. Also described is a method of manufacturing Vi polysaccharide of S. typhi wherein the extraction and purification of the Vi polysaccharide is carried out in the absence of phenol.
