Comparison of Different Methods of Purification and Concentration in Production of Influenza Vaccine.

The overwhelming majority of influenza vaccines are prepared with the use of chicken embryo allantoic fluid. The presence of ovalbumin (this protein constitutes >60% total protein in the allantoic fluid) in the vaccine can lead to severe allergy. Hence, effective reduction of ovalbumin content is of crucial importance for vaccine production.

Duration of the protective immune response after prime and booster vaccination of yearlings with a live modified cold-adapted viral vaccine against equine influenza.

We previously created a live vaccine against equine influenza based the new reassortant cold-adapted (Ca) strain A/HK/Otar/6:2/2010. The live vaccine contains surface proteins (HA, NA) from the wild-type virus A/equine/Otar/764/2007 (Н3N8; American Lineage Florida Clade 2), and internal proteins (PB2, PB1, PA, NP, M, NS) from the attenuated Ca donor virus A/Hong Kong/1/68/162/35CA (H3N2). To determine the safety and duration of the protective immune responses, 90 yearlings were intranasally vaccinated in single mode, double mode at an interval of 42 days (10(7.

[Technological approaches to development of whole-virion inactivated vaccine from recombinant strain against A/H5N1 influenza in the Republic of Kazakhstan].

Aim: Development of technological stages of preparation of experimental influenza whole-virion inactivated adsorbed vaccine based on recombinant influenza virus strains NIBRG-14 and A/Astana/RG/6:2/2009.

Materials And Methods: 2 recombinant vaccines influenza strains were used in the study--NIBRG-14 and A/Astana/RG/6:2/2009. Purification of native virus-containing allantoic fluid was performed by ion-exchange chromatography.
