Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a method for producing a medicinal product comprising a biologically active protein comprising the steps of providing an aqueous composition comprising a solvent, the biologically active protein and between 20% w/w and 60% w/w of a non-polymeric sugar, freezing the composition, thereby forming at least one frozen body comprising the solvent in frozen form, putting the frozen body in a drying apparatus while being carried by a support, the support comprising one or more restraining elements that define one or more boundaries of the support, wherein at most 30% of the surface of the body is contiguous with the one or more restraining elements, reducing the pressure in the drying apparatus below atmospheric pressure, providing heat to the body in order to sublimate the frozen solvent of the body and obtain a dried body. The invention also pertains to a product obtainable by this method.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses liquid stable bovine vaccines that comprise a live attenuated virus, and a sugar alcohol. The present invention also discloses the manufacture of such vaccines and methods of protecting an animal by administration of such vaccines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oral vaccine against respiratory disease in ruminants, comprising live attenuated Mannheimia haemolytica bacteria and a Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The addition of PVP significantly improves the protective effect of vaccination on lung scores after a challenge infection. Further the PVP allows vaccination by a method of mass administration, such as by oral route via a drink. In addition the invention relates to methods for the preparation of such a vaccine, to methods for the vaccination of ruminants employing such a vaccine, and to medical uses of a composition comprising M. haemolytica bacteria.
Abstract:
The present invention is drawn to liquid stable swine vaccines that comprise a live porcine virus. The invention is also drawn to the manufacture of such vaccines and methods of vaccinating animal subjects with these vaccines.
Abstract:
The present invention is drawn to liquid stable poultry vaccines that comprise avian virus. The invention is also drawn to the manufacture of such vaccines methods of vaccinating animal subjects with these vaccines.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses liquid stable vaccines that comprise a live attenuated virus, 10-30% sugar additive, and an amino acid. The present invention also discloses the manufacture of such vaccines and methods of protecting an animal by administration of such vaccines.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses dry formulations of room temperature stable vaccines that comprise a live attenuated virus, a sugar stabilizer, and an amino acid stabilizer. The present invention also discloses the manufacture of such vaccines and methods of protecting an animal by administration of such vaccines.
