Known as the Fluzone High - Dose
vaccine, and made by Sanofi Pasteur, the inactivated
influenza vaccine contains four times the amount of
antigen that is contained in the standard - dose Fluzone
vaccine.
Initially, all of the makers of inactivated
vaccine had trouble with the «potency assay» used to ensure that 15 micrograms of
influenza antigens are present in each dose.
They could potentially play a role in the event of a pandemic, in this case by «
antigen sparing», allowing efficacy with lower doses of the
influenza antigen — thereby allowing faster production of more doses of the
vaccine as early as possible in the pandemic.
The project aims to develop an
influenza vaccine that educates the immune system to recognise cross-reactive epitopes by diluting out the strain specific epitope (Epitope Dilution Phenomenon), using a combination of
influenza hemagglutinin
antigens delivered on virus - like particle.
His ongoing research projects include programs to develop adjuvants for use with H5N1 pandemic
influenza antigens as well as West Nile Virus
vaccines.
