Abstract: A multivalent vaccine composition, a method of producing the multivalent vaccine composition, and an apparatus containing the multivalent vaccine composition. The multivalent vaccine composition may include a mixture. The mixture may include Neisseria meningitides serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 oligosaccharides conjugated to glycan-free carrier proteins. When administered, the multivalent vaccine composition may provide long-lasting immunity to humans of all age groups, including infants.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is a method of purifying Diphtheria Toxoid (DT) by Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC). The chromatographic method of the present invention provides an effective removal of contaminating glycans present in carrier protein DT and thereby provides a highly purified form of carrier protein DT for the production or preparation of polysaccharide protein conjugate vaccines.

Abstract: Methods for producing quadrivalent meningococcal meningitis polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines for serotypes A, C, Y and W-135 disclosed. Neisseria meningitidis fastidious medium was designed to maximize the yield of capsular polysaccharides and generate minimal cellular biomass and endotoxin in a short duration of fermentation. The crude polysaccharides are isolated, purified, and mechanically depolymerized by sonication. These purified polysaccharides were found in human clinical trials to be safe and immunogenic against meningococcal disease caused by N. meningitidis A, C, Y and W-135 serogroups in sub-Saharan Africa. In the preferred embodiment, the polysaccharides are conjugated to carrier proteins of diphtheria or tetanus toxiod to an average molecular size of 5100 to 9900 Daltons and provide broad spectrum protection to humans of all ages. Accelerated polysaccharide production and the efficacy of the resulting vaccine are demonstrated.

Abstract: A method for producing theraputic vaccine which consist of NMDA-NRI subunit expressed in insect cells to produce recombinant protein which was encapsulated in PLGA or poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) microparticles by solvent exchange and used for oral immunization. Excitotoxicity (i.e., a process in which an excessive amount of extracellular glutamate overexcites glutamate receptors and harms neurons) is the common cause involved in a number of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, Huntington, Amyloid lateral sclerosis(ALS) and neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Epilepsy. Thus the experimental model for stroke has been developed for the study of powerful N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) NRI subunits, their protective and therapeutic potential for treatment of the neurodegenerative disorder Alzheimer's in animals and its practicability for therapy in humans.

Abstract: A method for producing therapeutic vaccine which consist of NMDA-NR1 subunit expressed in insect cells to produce recombinant protein and was encapsulated in poly(D-L-lactide-co-glycolic-acid) (PGLA) microparticles by solvent exchange and used for oral immunization. Thus the experimental model for stroke has been developed for the study of powerful N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) NR1 sub units, their protective and therapeutic potential for treatment of the neurological disorder of stroke in animals and its practicability for therapy in humans.
