Background
Rabies is a highly fatal disease, and death is almost inevitable once the disease stage is reached after exposure to viruses. Vaccination of humans, dogs and other sensitive host animals with frequent human contact is the only effective means to control rabies incidence and prevalence.
Inactivated whole virus vaccine preparations are generally administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, and the ability of immune cells, particularly Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs), abundant in these sites to recruit immune cells and immune-related cytokines to these sites in other sites is utilized to induce the body to rapidly generate protective immune responses. Therefore, this type of vaccine preparation is usually prepared by injection, including water injection and freeze-dried powder injection. In contrast, the freeze-dried powder injection has the advantages of longer effective period, more convenient storage and transportation, better consistency of various key quality indexes in the effective period and the like, and becomes the optimal preparation formulation of the inactivated whole virus vaccine product.
The vaccine adjuvant refers to an excipient and an additive used in the prescription preparation of a vaccine product, is an indispensable important component in the vaccine preparation, can endow the vaccine preparation with necessary physical, chemical, pharmacological and biological characteristics, and has positive key effects on the stability, the biological activity, the product quality guarantee, the development of new preparation forms and new varieties, the prevention and use requirements and the like of the vaccine preparation.
The related information of the adverse reactions after vaccination published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2000 provides that 1-64 people among 1 ten thousand vaccinees in the United states of America and vaccinated with Japanese encephalitis inactivated vaccine have anaphylactic reaction, severe systemic urticaria, facial angioedema or respiratory distress, and the reasons are related to the gelatin stabilizer in the product. Recent studies have shown that individuals with allergic reactions after monovalent measles, mumps and rubella vaccination have immunoglobulin E antibodies to gelatin stabilizers. Therefore, the adverse reactions of the vaccine after inoculation are caused by raw and auxiliary materials used in the production process in a certain proportion. Therefore, in the biological product, the raw and auxiliary materials are not considered as inactive substances any more, and the physical and chemical properties and safety of the raw and auxiliary materials for producing the biological product have direct influence on the effectiveness and safety of the biological product.
The human serum albumin is mainly used as an auxiliary material of an injection and as a protein stabilizer in a prescription. Can also be used as antifreeze in the freeze drying process to prevent other proteins from being adsorbed on the surface. Sucrose can be used as a stabilizer and lyoprotectant for biological products. In the process of preparing the freeze-dried rabies vaccine for human, in addition to the auxiliary materials, the components such as gelatin, trehalose, a surfactant and the like are required to be added so as to enhance the protection effect in the freeze-drying process and the preservation process and reduce the loss rate of the titer of the vaccine, but the introduced components can cause great influence on the safety of the product.
Therefore, it would be of great interest to develop a vaccine formulation that is simpler in composition, safer, stable and less toxic.
