Definitions

  • the present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising bacterial capsular saccharides conjugated to a carrier protein, in particular those saccharides of N. meningitidis. It additionally relates to vaccines and vaccine kits comprising such saccharide conjugates, processes for making the immunogenic compositions and vaccines and the use of the vaccines and immunogenic compositions of the invention in therapy. It also relates to methods of immunising against infection using the saccharide conjugates and the use of the saccharide conjugates in the manufacture of a medicament.
  • Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative human pathogen which causes bacterial meningitis. Based on the organism's capsular polysaccharide, twelve serogroups of N. meningitidis have been identified (A, B, C, H, I, K, L , 29E 1 W135, X, Y and Z). Serogroup A (MenA) is the most common cause of epidemic disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Serogroups B and C are responsible for the majority of cases in developing countries, with the remaining cases being caused by W135 and Y.
  • Immunogenic compositions comprising N. meningitidis saccharides conjugated to carrier proteins are known in the art; the carrier protein having the known effect of turning the T- independent polysaccharide antigen into a T-dependent antigen capable of triggering an immune memory response.
  • WO 02/58737 discloses a vaccine comprising purified capsular polysaccharides from N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W135 and Y conjugated to a carrier protein.
  • this application teaches that all polysaccharides should essentially be conjugated in the same way (through the same linker to the same protein carrier).
  • the present invention concerns the provision of a meningococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine where conjugation of each polysaccharide is tailored (rather than being uniform) to achieve an efficacious combination vaccine.
  • it is advantageous to combine certain meningococcal saccharides conjugated to their protein carriers at a high saccharide:protein ratio with others at a low ratio.
  • an immunogenic composition comprising at least 2 different N. meningitidis capsular saccharides, wherein one or more is/are selected from a first group consisting of MenA, MenC, MenY and MenW which is/are conjugated to a protein carrier(s) wherein the saccharideiprotein ratio (w/w) is between 1 :2-1 :5, and one or more different saccharides is/are selected from a second group consisting of MenA, MenC, MenY and MenW which is/are conjugated to a protein carrier(s) wherein the saccharide:protein ratio (w/w) is between 5:1-1 :1.99.
  • MenW vaccine the ratio of Men W saccharide to carrier protein can be between 5:1- 1 :1.99, 2:1-1 :1.99, 1.5:1-1 :1.8, 1 :1-1 :1.7, 1 :1.2-1 :1.6, or 1 :1.4-1 :1.5 (w/w).
  • MenY vaccine the ratio of Men Y saccharide to carrier protein can be between 5:1-1 :1.99, 2:1- 1 :1.99, 1.5:1-1 :1.9, 1 :1-1 :1.8, 1 :1.1-1 :1.6, or 1 :1.3-1 :1.4 (w/w).
  • the ratio of Men A saccharide to carrier protein can be between 1 :2-1 :5, 1 :2.4-1 :4, 1 :2.7-1 :3.5, or 1 :2.9-1 :3.1 (w/w).
  • the ratio of Men C saccharide to carrier protein can be between 5:1-1 :1.99, 2:1-1 :1.99, 1.5:1-1 :1.8, 1.3:1-1 :1.6, 1.2:1-1 :1.4, or 1.1 :1-1 :1.2 (w/w), or between 1 :2-1 :5, 1 :2.5-1 :4.5, 1 :2.7-1 :4.3, 1 :3-1 :4, or 1 :3.3-1 :3.5 (w/w).
  • the ratio of saccharide to carrier protein (w/w) in a conjugate may be determined using the sterilized conjugate.
  • the amount of protein is determined using a Lowry assay (for example Lowry et al (1951 ) J. Biol. Chem. 193, 265-275 or Peterson et al Analytical Biochemistry 100, 201-220 (1979)) and the amount of saccharide is determined using ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy) for MenA, DMAP assay for MenC and Resorcinol assay for MenW and MenY (Monsigny et al (1988) Anal. Biochem. 175, 525-530).
  • ICP-OES inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy
  • MenA saccharide may be conjugated to a carrier protein through a linker and MenC directly.
  • MenCY vaccine MenC may be conjugated through a linker and MenY directly.
  • MenACWY vaccine Men A may be conjugated through a linker and MenCWY directly, or MenAC may be conjugated through a linker and MenWY directly.
  • an immunogenic composition comprising at least 2 different saccharides conjugated separately to the same type of carrier protein (for instance DT, CRM197, Protein D, or TT), wherein one or more saccharide(s) is/are conjugated to the carrier protein wherein the saccharide:protein ratio (w/w) is between 1 :2-1 :5, and one or more different saccharides is/are conjugated to the carrier protein wherein the saccharide: protein ratio (w/w) is between 5:1-1 :1.99.
  • carrier protein for instance DT, CRM197, Protein D, or TT
  • MenA may be conjugated to the carrier protein with a saccharide: protein ratio (w/w) between 1 :2-1 :5 and MenC conjugated to the carrier protein with a saccharide:protein ratio (w/w) between 5:1-1 :1.99.
  • MenC may be conjugated to the carrier protein with a saccharide:protein ratio (w/w) between 1 :2-1 :5 and Men Y conjugated to the carrier protein with a saccharide: protein ratio (w/w) between 5:1-1 :1.99.
  • MenAC may be conjugated to the carrier protein with a saccharide: protein ratio (w/w) between 1 :2-1 :5 and MenWY conjugated to the carrier protein with a saccharide:protein ratio (w/w) between 5:1-1 :1.99.
