The development and certification of the industrial reference standard for identification of meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine group A

The article highlights the materials on the development and certification of the industrial reference standard (IRS) for identification of meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine group A. The scheme and methodology for IRS certification have been developed. Samples of the vaccine IRS candidate have been tested in terms of: «Description», «Dissolution time», «Transparency of reconstituted solution «, «Colourity of reconstituted solution», «Particulate matter «, «Loss on drying», «Accuracy of filling» «Phosphorus», «Sterility», «Pyrogenicity», «Abnormal toxicity», confirming their compliance with the current Pharmacopoeia monograph MP-00392-180512. The certified characteristic has been determined: IRS should slow down passive hemagglutination (PHIA) in «A» homologous system with polysaccharide concentration in the range from 0.19 to 0.39 μg per 1 ml in the absence of the inhibitory effect in «C» heterologous system with polysaccharide concentration of 50 μg per 1 ml. The shelf life of the IRS meningococcal group A polysaccharide vaccine for identification has been set against the vaccine shelf life and has been equal to 2 years. The set of regulatory documents on the scientific and technical product IRS 42-28-428-2014 IRS meningococcal group A polysaccharide vaccine for identification (certificate, draft label of primary package and patient information leaflet) has been approved.
