Description

The multivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide combined vaccine
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of immunology, relate more specifically to the conjugate of streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharides-carrier proteins, contain the vaccine and the method for making thereof of this conjugate.
Background technology
Pneumonia (pneumonia) is the acute inflammation of pulmonary parenchyma, for clinical modal infectious diseases, after the microbiotic widespread use, though its prognosis has remarkable improvement, but M ﹠ M does not have decline yet, and is higher in infant, the elderly and immunosuppressed patient especially.
Pneumonia can be categorized as Da Ye, lung section and a matter by anatomic distribution; For helping treatment.The many infectious pneumonia such as bacterium, virus, mycoplasma, fungi, rickettsia, chlamydozoan and protozoon that are categorized as by the cause of disease of current diagnosis.
Infantile pneumonia is common disease in children, frequently-occurring disease, is the principal disease that threatens children's's life and health.From cause of disease classification, it comprises bacillary (streptococcus pneumoniae, suis, streptococcus aureus, pneumobacillus, hemophilus influenza, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, intestinal bacteria etc.), viral (adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus etc.), pneumonia magma bacterium property (claiming mycoplasma pneumonia again, primary atypical pneumonia), mycotic, imbedibility, supersensitivity and hypostasis etc.Comprise Da Ye, segmental bronchus and a matter etc. by pathological classification.Can be divided into acute (in 1 month), delay property (1~3 month) and chronic (above 3 months) according to the course of disease, wherein bronchopneumonia is the maximum persons of morbidity in the pneumonia, and is constantly all the year, more with winter and spring especially.
Bronchopneumonia is infant's common disease in period, frequently-occurring disease, and 3 months~2 years old child sees more, all can fall ill throughout the year, but the highest with autumn and winter season sickness rate cold, climate variability, very big to the child health influence.Infant's age is little, and the body resistivity is poor, and cold is brought out flu easily, and flu back infringement tracheae, the through lung tissue of segmental bronchus cause pneumonia easily; Child's lung tissue elastic force is poor, and alveolar quantity is few, and circulation of blood is abundant, and pulmonary infection takes place easily.Treatment child pneumonia, the lighter gives the microbiotic intravenous drip and the relieving cough and reducing sputum medicine of capacity, and seriously ill person also will give cardiac drug, oxygen suction, the treatment of relievining asthma, and will fully recover in general 7~8 days.Treatment thoroughly will not change into the chronic persistent pneumonia.The pathogenic bacteria of infant's morbidity mostly is streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae extensively is distributed in all over the world, often colonizes in healthy people's pharynx nasalis, have the people of 40%-70% to carry disease germs approximately, but most had no pathogenicity or virulence is extremely low.Can streptococcus pneumoniae cause a disease, and depends primarily on invasive ability and the Abwehrkraft des Koepers size of bacterium to tissue.It also can cause pneumococcal septicemia, and bacterium also can enter blood during the pneumonia infection coccus, causes diseases such as meningitis, endocarditis then.Worldwide, streptococcus pneumoniae makes 1,000,000 death of child every year at least.Therefore, the best method of prevention pneumonia is inoculated Pnu-Imune 23 exactly.Besides because in recent years, because streptococcus pneumoniae produces in various degree resistance to microbiotic, the area that has reaches 50% unexpectedly, has brought difficulty for the treatment pneumonia.So should focus on prevention for pneumonia, the inoculation pneumovax is a kind of good method of prevention.
Pneumococcal infection, the one, carry disease germs from self, when resistibility reduced, streptococcus pneumoniae was invaded to lower respiratory tract and causes pneumonia; The 2nd, infected from germ-carrying others or patient, cause pneumonia.Everybody has the chance that this pneumonia takes place, but the high risk population of generation pneumonia comprises: weak children and grownup; The elderly more than 60 years old; The upper respiratory disease that shows effect repeatedly comprises the children and the grownup of sinusitis paranasal sinusitis, otitis media; Pulmonary disorder patient, heart disease patient, hepatic diseases patient, renal disease patient, diabetic subject, cancer patients, sicklemia patient, Hokdkin disease patient, the not normal person of function of immune system, splenectomy person (determine the patient that will carry out splenectomy, should at least in art vaccination in preceding 15 days); Determine to carry out the immunosuppressant therapy person; Hang up one's hat chronic disease nursing or long term care facilities person.Above crowd is the main object that should inoculate " polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine ".
At present, the Pnu-Imune 23 that China uses is " multivalent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine " (Pneumovax 23 23).It is U.S. Mo Shadong, the development and production of French Pasteur S.A., and approval is carried out in the whole nation through China Ministry of Health.This vaccine has comprised 23 kinds of streptococcus pneumoniae that mainly cause pneumonia and septicemia, can produce immunizing power to 90% streptococcus pneumoniae, so claim " multivalence ".After the shot, can produce protection antibody in 15 days, the protection period continues 5 years at least; In case of necessity, after a shot the 6th year again the injection once.The inoculation pneumovax does not generally have any reaction.Minor responses such as injection site pain, redness can appear in inoculation back a few peoples; Be less than 1% inoculator and low-heat can occur; Can in 2-3 days, recover voluntarily.Anaphylaxis is very rare.But the remarkable shortcoming of this polysaccharide vaccine is invalid to 3 months~2 years old infant.
84 serotypes of streptococcus pneumoniae are not that each type can both similarly be attacked human body.The streptococcus pneumoniae type that causes disease is different because of area, age and crowd often.The U.S. ratified first 14 valency pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in 1977 and puts on market.14 pneumonia that the serotype streptococcus pneumoniae causes in the vaccine account for 68% of aggressive pneumococcal pneumonia.Nineteen eighty-three, a kind of 23 valency vaccines of reformulating have replaced 14 valency vaccines, and these 23 serotype streptococcus pneumoniae cause that the aggressive more than 85% infects.
China is in May, 1981~1985 year July, from patient's different specimens, be divided into from 712 strain streptococcus pneumoniae, carried out somatotype by Denmark's method and standard that WHO recommends, wherein 5 types are maximum, next is 6,1,19,23,2,3 and 8 types totally 8 types (group), account for 63.6% of whole pneumococcal infections, these 8 types (group) all are included in the 23 valency pneumovaxs.
Relatively poor to the immunogenicity of the infant below 2 years old in view of 23 present valency pneumonia polysaccharide vaccines, therefore, this area presses for the new multivalence pneumovax that can effectively be applied to the infant below 2 years old of exploitation.
In addition, also to press for exploitation new for the pneumococcal pneumovax in Asia (especially China) in this area.

The coupling of C, polysaccharide and carrier proteins
Coupling step can adopt the coupling technology and the condition of this area routine.For example, add cyanogen bromide-activated in polysaccharide, add adipic dihydrazide again and handle, the derivation rate is about 1-3%.Add Toxoid,tetanus and carbodiimide, reaction obtains the chemical covalent coupling thing of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide and tetanus toxoid protein, removes micromolecular compound through separation and purification, obtains final conjugate product.
In a preference, the inventive method adopts cyanogen bromide-activated and carbodiimide stepwise reaction, has improved polysaccharide and proteic joint efficiency (improving 30% approximately), and the method for the simple employing cyanogen bromide-activated of this external report is far better.
Polysaccharide for some hypotype can adopt the additive method preparation to raise the efficiency.For example add sodium periodate oxidation in polysaccharide, detect aldehyde radical, molecular weight size and sugared content add the reaction of Toxoid,tetanus and boron hydrocyanation sodium again and obtain the polysaccharide-protein binding substances.
These two kinds of association reactions all can obtain polysaccharide-carrier proteins binding substances, but because the structure of different subtype bacterial strain capsular polysaccharide and composition are different, the efficient of two kinds of reactions also exists significant difference.Therefore should select different combining method for use according to homopolysaccharide not.Preferably, 9V, 14,18C, 19F, 23F type polysaccharide adopt cyanogen bromide-activated, carbodiimide combined techniques; 4,6B type polysaccharide should adopt sodium periodate oxidation, the preparation of boron hydrocyanation sodium combined techniques.
The method of separation coupling thing has ethanol precipitation, gel filtration method, gradient centrifugation or the like, and these methods are all this area professional and know.In a preference, adopt the DEAE ion exchange column to carry out chromatographic separation.The polysaccharide-protein binding substances is suspended in the damping fluid, and damping fluid can use 100mM Tris, pH8.6.
Through the initial gross separation product of above-mentioned processing, separate through molecular sieve column again, remove unconjugated albumen.Solution after the separation is the work in-process of polysaccharide conjugate vaccine after Sterile Filtration, can be by certain dosage than the multivalent vaccine composition that is mixed with effective dose.
The present invention also provides a kind of pharmaceutical composition (comprising vaccine composition), and it contains polysaccharide of the present invention-carrier protein couplet thing and pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.Suitable carriers comprises (but being not limited to): salt solution, damping fluid, glucose, water, glycerine, ethanol and combination thereof.Pharmaceutical composition of the present invention also can various this areas adjuvant commonly used.
Pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be made into various preparations such as injection, tablet and capsule, wherein contain immune effective amount of actives (being polysaccharide of the present invention-carrier protein couplet thing), for example every day about 1 microgram/kg body weight-Yue 10 mg/kg body weight.
Pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be by conventional administering mode administration, comprising (but being not limited to): oral, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenously, subcutaneous or intradermal administration.
When making pharmaceutical composition, be that polysaccharide of the present invention-carrier protein couplet thing with safe and effective amount is applied to Mammals, wherein this safe and effective amount is usually at least about 10 micrograms/kg body weight, and in most of the cases be no more than about 10 mg/kg body weight, preferably this dosage is about 10 micrograms/kg body weight-Yue 1 mg/kg body weight.Certainly, concrete dosage also should be considered factors such as route of administration, and these all are within the skilled practitioners skill.
Major advantage of the present invention is:
(1) the streptococcus pneumoniae hypotype of Cai Yonging is to separate the local bacterial strain that obtains in China, and the pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide that these bacterial strains produce is the main pathogen that causes symptoms of pneumonia in China within the border.Therefore the capsular polysaccharide that adopts local pathogenic strains generation is as immunogen therapeutic action more targetedly.
(2) technology of the preparation pneumococcal polysaccharide of the present invention's employing is the technology through optimizing, and simple to operate, cost is low, and is easy to control.
