Excipients for protein-based vaccines are currently identified by evaluating the stability of the protein in solution. In most cases, however, the protein is adsorbed to the surface of an aluminum salt adjuvant in the final vaccine formulation. Previous studies showed that model protein antigens may

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is a biological warfare threat. Protein antigens have been developed against the seven major BoNT serotypes for the development of a recombinant protein vaccine. This study is an evaluation of adsorption profiles for three of the recombinant protein antigens to aluminum s
The mechanism(s) of the enhancement of the immune response by addition of aluminum salt adjuvants to parenterally administered protein-based vaccines is still the subject of debate. It has been hypothesized, however, that destabilization of the antigen structure on the surface of the adjuvant may be
The endotherm enthalpy changes A H D and temperatures T D of thermal denaturation of tropocollagen fibers were measured by DSC calorinietry as functions of water content. The denaturation temperatures decrease with increasing water content. The enthalpy change values increase sharply in the range 0-
