Pertussis Serological Potency Test as an Alternative to the Intracerebral Mouse Protection Test: Development, Evaluation and Validation.

چکیده
We have developed the Pertussis Serological Potency Test (PSPT) as an alternative to potency testing of pertussis Whole Cell Vaccines (WCV) in the intracerebral Mouse Protection Test (MPT). The PSPT is based on the humoral antibody response against the whole range of B. pertussis surface-antigens per vaccine dose and correlates well with the MPT. WCV-induced-antibody responses against "protective" antigens; or the biological activitv of pertussis antibodies poorly correlated or did not correlate at all with mouse protection. Compared to the MPT the PSPT is more reproducible, reduces the animal distress and the number of animals in use. Moreover, the number of animals in use could be reduced even more by simplifying the multiple dose design to a single dose model and by combining in vitro assays for potency testing of tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis components in one animal model

Comparative Assessment of the Whole-cell Pertussis Vaccine Potency Using Serological and Intracerebral Mouse Protection Methods
One of the most important QC tests of whole-cell pertussis vaccine (WCPV) is potency test. In this regard, mouse protection test (MPT) is the current potency method, which is associated with severe animal distress and large variability in results. The purpose of this study was to assess Pertussis Serological Potency Test (PSPT) as a serological alternative method to intracerebral challenge in M...
متن کاملEvaluation of two serological methods for potency testing of whole cell pertussis vaccines.
The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and the World Health Organization (WHO) require the performance of extensive quality control testing including a potency test before a vaccine batch is released for human use. Whole cell pertussis (wP) vaccine potency is assessed by a mouse protection test (MPT) based on the Kendrick test. This test compares the vaccine dose necessary to protect 50% of mice...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the intracerebral mouse protection test and serological method for potency assays of pertussis component in DTP vaccine
The aim of this study was to compare the PSPT standardized in-house as an alternative to MPT for potency assays of pertussis component. Statistical analyses have showed similar pertussis potency values when PSPT was compared to MPT. Significant correlation between the potency results obtained by in vivo and in vitro assays was also been observed. Results by PSPT have demonstrated reproducibilit...
متن کاملReport on the international workshop on alternative methods for human and veterinary rabies vaccine testing: state of the science and planning the way forward.
Potency testing of most human and veterinary rabies vaccines requires vaccination of mice followed by a challenge test using an intracerebral injection of live rabies virus. NICEATM, ICCVAM, and their international partners organized a workshop to review the availability and validation status of alternative methods that might reduce, refine, or replace the use of animals for rabies vaccine pote...
متن کاملEvaluation and comparison of Hela, Hep2C and Vero cell lines sensitivity to polio vaccinal virus using micro and macro vaccine potency tests
Poliomyelitis, an acute viral infectious disease caused by poliovirus, still remains a public health problem in developing countries. Despite the global effort to eradicate polio, continuing the polio immunization with a potent and safe vaccine is essential. For accurate vaccine evaluation, three types of cell lines including Hela, Hep2C and Vero were evaluated and compared using two methods of...
