简要总结
The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-related safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of a trivalent recombinant hemagglutinin influenza vaccine in healthy adults.
详细描述
All currently licensed influenza vaccines in the United States are produced in embryonated hen's eggs. There are several well-recognized disadvantages to the use of eggs as the substrate for influenza vaccine. Eggs require specialized manufacturing facilities and could be difficult to scale up rapidly in response to an emerging need such as a pandemic. It is usually necessary to adapt candidate vaccine viruses for high-yield growth in eggs, a process that can be time consuming, is not always successful, and can select receptor variants that may have suboptimal immunogenicity. In addition, agricultural diseases that affect chicken flocks, and that might be an important issue in a pandemic due to an avian influenza virus strain, could easily disrupt the supply of eggs for vaccine manufacturing. Therefore, development of alternative substrates for influenza vaccine production has been identified as a high-priority objective.
One potential alternative method for production of influenza vaccine is expression of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) using recombinant DNA techniques. This alternative avoids dependence on eggs and is very efficient because of the high levels of protein expression under the control of the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter.

- •Acute febrile illness (defined as having a temperature ≥100degreesF) or upper respiratory tract illness within 72 hours of vaccination.
- •Use of experimental vaccines or any influenza vaccine after May 31st 2004 for the 2005 Southern Hemisphere or 2004 to 2005 Northern hemisphere epidemic seasons.
- •Use of any experimental medication within 30 days prior to study vaccination
- •Women who were pregnant or breast-feeding.
- •Subjects with a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
- •Receipt of parenteral immunoglobulin within 30 days prior to study vaccination.
- •Any acute or chronic condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would render vaccination unsafe or interfere with the evaluation of response.
