  • Methods for providing a homogenous solution of lyophilized mutant diptheria toxin in dimethylsulfoxide
    Patent number: 11896656
    Abstract: A method is described for reconstituting lyophilized mutant diphtheria toxin in dimethyl sulfoxide for use in producing pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide mutant diphtheria toxin conjugates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignee: MERCK SHARP & DOHME LLC
    Inventors: Patrick Leonard Ahl, Akhilesh Bhambhani, Christopher Jon Farrell, Patrick McHugh, Morrisa C. Jones, Daniel D. Roth, Jessica R. Sinacola, Justin Stanbro, Matthew P. Watson, Emily Wen, Michael A. Winters
  • METHODS FOR PRODUCING STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE CAPSULAR POLYSACCHARIDE CARRIER PROTEIN CONJUGATES
    Publication number: 20230077640
    Abstract: A method is described for producing a pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide protein conjugate in which one or more activated pneumococcal polysaccharides of particular pneumococcal serotypes and carrier protein are separately lyophilized, the separately lyophilized polysaccharides and carrier protein are separately reconstituted in an organic solvent, and the reconstituted polysaccharide and carrier protein are then combined together by Tee-mixing and conjugated together to produce polysaccharide carrier protein conjugates. A plurality of conjugates, each comprising polysaccharides of a particular serotype, may be used to produce multivalent pneumococcal immunogenic compositions having a combination of conjugates for use in vaccines.

  • METHODS FOR PRODUCING STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE CAPSULAR POLYSACCHARIDE CARRIER PROTEIN CONJUGATES FROM LYOSPHERES
    Publication number: 20210236646
    Abstract: A method is described for producing a pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide protein conjugate in which one or more activated pneumococcal polysaccharides of particular pneumococcal serotypes and carrier protein are separately lyophilized in the form of lyospheres of carrier protein and lyospheres of the one or more polysaccharides. A predetermined amount of carrier protein lyospheres and activated polysaccharide lyospheres are mixed together and the mixture reconstituted in an organic solvent to produce polysaccharide carrier protein conjugates. A plurality of conjugates, each comprising polysaccharides of a particular serotype, may be used to produce multivalent pneumococcal immunogenic compositions having a combination of conjugates for use in vaccines.
