A flow-through chromatography purification process for Vero cell-derived influenza virus (H7N9).

Immunization is the most effective way to respond to an influenza epidemic. To produce Vero cell-derived influenza vaccines, a more efficient, stable and economical purification process is required. In this study, we purified the H7N9 influenza virus grown in Vero cells that were cultured in a serum-free medium by using a combination of anion exchange chromatography (AEC) and ligand-activated core chromatography (LCC), which avoids the virus capture step.

Immunogenicity and safety levels of inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine in healthy adults via meta-analysis.

: The aim of the current study was to evaluate immunogenicity and safety levels of human inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) which includes two A strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2) and two B lineages (B/Victoria, B/Yamagata) in healthy adults via meta-analysis. : Searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and EMBASE databases published in 2011-2020 according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Safety and effectiveness assessment of 2011-2012 seasonal influenza vaccine produced in China: a randomized trial.

Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the egg-based, trivalent, inactivated split influenza vaccine produced by the Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, China.

Methods: From March 2012 through May 2012, we enrolled a total of 1390 healthy volunteers between the ages of 3 and 80 years in a randomized clinical trial at the Hebei Disease Control Center Vaccine Clinical Evaluation Center. For all subjects, body part adverse reactions and whole-body adverse reactions were observed 30 min, 6 h, and 1-7 days' post-inoculation.

[Application of confocal simultaneous scanner unit in the study of forebrain neurodevelopment in zebrafish].

With the application of the photoconversion technology of genetically expressed fluorescent proteins in biologic field, more powerful confocal imaging ability was demanded. The aim of the present study was to establish an experimental model employing confocal simultaneous scanner unit for simultaneous laser stimulation and imaging, taking study of forebrain neurodevelopment in zebrafish as an example. In the present study, 36-48-hour-old Tg(lhx5:kaede) zebrafish embryos were mounted with 1.
