Quantification of each serogroup polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis in A/C/Y/W-135-DT conjugate vaccine by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography-pulsed amperometric detection analysis.

چکیده
Invasive bacterial meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis can be prevented by active immunization with meningococcal polysaccharide or polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines. In a tetravalent A/C/Y/W-135-DT meningococcal conjugate vaccine vial, or in a final formulated bulk, accurate identification and quantification of each polysaccharide are critical in product release. Determination of sialic acid serogroups (C, W-135, and Y) unambiguously is complex since all these serogroups contribute to the sialic acid monosaccharide peaks that overlap in the high-performance anion-exchange chromatography-pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). We report a quantification method that involves generation of monosaccharide standard plots for respective sugars mannosamine-6-phosphate, sialic acid, galactose- and glucose-derived from hydrolysis of mixtures of the four serogroups A, C, W, and Y reference polysaccharides. These plots were then used to obtain the unknown polysaccharide concentrations of A/C/Y/W-135 in vialed vaccine or from formulated final bulks. We also present our results of the HPAEC-PAD profiles on groups C, W-135, and Y polysaccharides when hydrolyzed individually and/or in mixtures to discuss the individual sialic acid peak contributions.

Neisseria meningitidis is a gram negative diplococcal bacterium. Worldwide, N. meningitidis is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and sepsis, with five serogroups (A, B, C, Y, and W-135) responsible for the majority of the disease. Multivalent (A, C, Y, and W-135) polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines have been licensed in the United States and elsewhere and are widely available. We have...
متن کاملEpidemiological profile of meningococcal disease in the United States.
Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and other serious infections worldwide. The epidemiological profile of N. meningitidis is highly changeable, with great differences in disease incidence and serogroup distribution. Six serogroups (namely serogroups A, B, C, W-135, X, and Y) are responsible for most cases of meningococcal disease worldwide; the epidemiological pro...
متن کاملBordetella pertussis fimbriae are effective carrier proteins in Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C conjugate vaccines.
Serogroup C meningococcal conjugate vaccines generally use diphtheria or tetanus toxoids as the protein carriers. The use of alternative carrier proteins may allow multivalent conjugate vaccines to be formulated into a single injection and circumvent potential problems of immune suppression in primed individuals. Bordetella pertussis fimbriae were assessed as carrier proteins for Neisseria meni...

Neisseria meningitidis is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in the United States and worldwide. A serogroup A/C/W-135/Y polysaccharide meningococcal vaccine has been licensed in the United States since 1981 but has not been used universally outside of the military. On 14 January 2005, a polysaccharide conjugate vaccine that covers meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y was licensed...

Healthy adults, 18-55 years old, were immunized once with a tetravalent (serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135) meningococcal vaccine conjugated to diphtheria toxoid at 1 of 3 doses and were monitored for safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity. No immediate reactions were observed. Only 1 of 89 subjects reported fever; only 1 reported any severe reactogenicity (local pain/soreness, chills, arthralg...
