摘要:
Methods for preparing dried pellets of biological materials are described. The pellets can have a substantially spherical shape and are prepared by freezing droplets of a liquid composition of a desired biological material on a solid surface followed by microwave vacuum drying the frozen droplets. These methods are useful for preparing dried pellets having a high concentration of a desired biological material, in particular a therapeutic protein or vaccine, and which have a faster reconstitution time than lyophilized powder cakes prepared in vials.
摘要:
Methods for improving the drying yield and stability of RSV vaccines comprising a highly thermolabile enveloped live virus and/or one or more RSV protein subunits, are described. Methods for rapid drying of RSV formulations containing between 17.5% and 60% w/w of a non-polymeric sugar and using either conduction or radiation dominant drying mechanisms, are disclosed. The disclosed methods provide for; 1) a dried RSV formulation with improved stability profile; 2) faster drying; and 3) integration of dried RSV into a primary device (such as dual chamber cartridges, foil-pouch devices etc.), pre- as well as post-drying.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of vaccinating a patient against varicella zoster virus (VZV) by delivery of an effective amount of a live attenuated VZV vaccine to the epidermis or the dermis of a patient's skin at a depth of between about 100 and about 700 microns from the surface of the skin, which is useful for preventing herpes zoster or reducing the severity or duration thereof. In embodiments of the invention, the patient is 50 years of age or older and has been previously exposed to VZV. The invention also relates to a method of preventing VZV infection in an individual who was not previously infected with VZV comprising administering an effective amount of a live attenuated VZV vaccine to the epidermis or the dermis of the individual's skin at a depth of between about 100 and about 700 microns from the surface of the skin.

This present invention relates to compositions and methods for stabilizing a dried vaccine formulations. In particular, the invention provides a method for producing a vaccine composition comprising the steps of providing an aqueous composition comprising a buffer, the vaccine components and between 17.5% w/w and 60% w/w of a non-polymeric sugar, freezing the composition, and applying microwave radiation under a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure in order to sublimate the composition and obtain a dried vaccine formulation. The invention also provides a product obtainable by this method.
