    摘要: The present disclosure relates to alternative, cost effective, rapid and simple methods for bacterial capsular polysaccharide (CPS) manufacturing resulting in 1) simultaneous sizing and purification of CPS 2) high CPS yield, 3) improved CPS purity and removal of protein and nucleic acid contaminants, 4) CPS with preserved epitopic conformation and 5) stable and immunogenic polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines comprising of said size reduced and purified CPS The method particularly comprises subjecting crude/native bacterial polysaccharide to an oxidizing agent to obtain high purity, high yield and structurally intact CPS having optimal molecular size and other desirable CPS attributes. The method is amenable for commercial scale manufacturing of polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines.
