Improving vaccine efficacy based on non-covalent photoinactivation of microorganisms - sources vaccine antigens (MSVA)

Abstract

One of the most promising methods for non-covalent inactivation of vaccine-producing microorganisms is the use of photoinactivation using riboflavin derivatives. The study used a dynamic combinatorial derivative of riboflavin - succinyl-maleinyl riboflavin.     

Corpuscular vaccines are divided into the following groups: from 2AB to 5AB - bacteria were inactivated by riboflavin derivative and blue light, and groups from 6AB to 9AB were inactivated by formalin (0.1% formalin in 9 log CFU was kept for 2 weeks in an thermostat and then sterility was determined - bacterial growth was not observed). A dynamic derivative of riboflavin at a final concentration of 0.02% can photo inactivate 6 time more bacteria P. Aeruginosa and E. coli than riboflavin. The minimum effective blue light emitter power (450 nm) for the photodynamic inactivation of both P. aeruginosa and E. coli is 1024.2 mW / cm2. In groups of mice pre-vaccinated intraperitoneally with corpuscular photo inactivated vaccines based on suspensions of and E. coli at doses of 0.5-1.0 ml 4 log (CFU) / mL, 100% survival of all animals was observed, whereas in control group with the same type of vaccines but formalin-treated vaccines, it failed to achieve a 100% protective effect.
