Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease that can be fatal due to the action of diphtheria toxin (DT). Diphtheria antitoxin (DAT) remains essential for treatment and must be administered within two days of symptom onset to effectively neutralize circulating DT. Immediate availability of DAT is critical, especially during outbreaks. Potency testing is required before lot release, yet current pharmacopeial methods still rely on in vivo assays, such as the subcutaneous toxin neutralization test (TNT-SC) or intradermal TNT (TNT-ID). In response to efforts to reduce animal use, this study aimed to validate an in vitro potency assay for DAT using Vero cells, as an alternative to the in vivo TNT-SC for lot release. Twelve DAT samples were tested using the in vivo method and the alternative in vitro assay. Diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy), agreement (Lin's CCC, Bland–Altman analysis), linearity, precision, and selectivity were evaluated. The in vitro assay showed high concordance with the in vivo method (CCC >0.90) and correctly classified all samples regarding conformity status. The assay demonstrated acceptable linearity and precision (gCV% ≤ 30 %). These results support the Vero cell assay as a relevant and reliable full replacement for in vivo TNT-SC in DAT potency determination.
白喉是一种急性传染性疾病,由于白喉毒素(DT)的作用可致人死亡。白喉抗毒素(DAT)仍然是治疗的关键,必须在症状出现后两天内给予,以有效中和循环中的白喉抗毒素。即时获得数据至关重要,特别是在疫情爆发期间。在批放行前需要进行效价检测,但目前的药典方法仍然依赖于体内检测,如皮下毒素中和试验(TNT- sc)或皮内TNT (TNT- id)。为了减少动物使用,本研究旨在验证使用Vero细胞进行DAT的体外效价测定,作为体内批量释放的TNT-SC的替代品。采用体内法和体外替代法对12个DAT样品进行检测。评估诊断性能(敏感性、特异性、准确性)、一致性(Lin’s CCC、Bland-Altman分析)、线性、精密度和选择性。体外实验显示与体内方法高度一致(CCC >0.90),并正确分类了所有符合状态的样品。该方法具有良好的线性度和精密度(gCV%≤30%)。这些结果支持Vero细胞测定法作为一种相关且可靠的完全替代体内TNT-SC测定DAT效价的方法。

This study focuses on harmonising the competition ELISA (cELISA) assay for Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), using the 1st WHO reference reagent for anti-malaria (P. falciparum) human reference serum (10/198). Antibody-mediated immune responses against the Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA1) play a significant role in protection against malaria. However, the sequence diversity of AMA1 and cross-reactivity among variants pose challenges in assessing antibody responses. To address this, the cELISA assay was selected to examine cross-reactive antibody responses against different variants.
The harmonisation process for cELISA was performed in three laboratories. The 10/198 served as an internal standard for the calculation of IgG concentrations in the cELISA using ADAMSEL software. Additionally, a novel semi-automated analytical tool was developed in the R-statistics environment. This tool is freely available for download and streamlines generating results while minimising human error.
This study demonstrated the effectiveness of the 1st WHO reference reagent as a standard for cELISA. Additionally, the ADAMSEL software and R-platform tool provide a user-friendly and accessible tool for the analysis of cELISA data. Its automation capabilities improve efficiency and ensure global accessibility at no cost, benefitting laboratories with limited resources.
本研究的重点是统一恶性疟原虫(P. falciparum)竞争ELISA (cELISA)检测方法,使用世界卫生组织第一个抗疟疾(P. falciparum)人参考血清标准试剂(10/198)。针对顶膜抗原1 (AMA1)的抗体介导的免疫应答在疟疾保护中发挥重要作用。然而,AMA1的序列多样性和变体之间的交叉反应性给评估抗体反应带来了挑战。为了解决这个问题,我们选择了cELISA检测来检测针对不同变体的交叉反应性抗体反应。cELISA的协调过程在三个实验室进行。10/198作为内标,使用ADAMSEL软件计算cELISA中IgG浓度。此外,在R-statistics环境中开发了一种新的半自动分析工具。此工具可免费下载,并简化生成结果,同时最大限度地减少人为错误。本研究证明了世卫组织第一种参比试剂作为cELISA标准试剂的有效性。此外,ADAMSEL软件和r平台工具为分析cELISA数据提供了一个用户友好且易于访问的工具。它的自动化能力提高了效率,并确保全球免费访问,使资源有限的实验室受益。

Since their introduction over a century ago, antivenoms have played a central role in Public Health, especially in the world's least developed regions. They are, in most cases, the only effective treatment for envenomation accidents by poisonous animals. A big proportion of currently available antivenoms are based on F(ab’)2 immunoglobulin fragments, produced from hyperimmune equine plasma, following slightly modified protocols developed several decades ago. These protocols show severe limitations for processing starting materials with high lipid contents. In this work, we propose minor modifications to these traditional procedures, based on the addition of octanoic acid, that significantly increase their lipid removal capacities. The method designed for use at the final stages showed reductions of 85–98 % and 64–99 % in cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines, respectively. An alternative, intended for use at the initial stages of the process, improved lipid removal capacity in three out of four independent hyperimmune equine plasmas assayed. Notably, a significant reduction in oligomeric F(ab’)2 species was also observed in all octanoic acid-treated samples. Thus, the methodologies developed and optimised in this work present simple and affordable alternatives to overcome lipid removal limitations of traditional antivenom-producing protocols.
自一个多世纪前推出以来,抗蛇毒血清在公共卫生领域发挥了核心作用,特别是在世界上最不发达地区。在大多数情况下,它们是处理有毒动物中毒事故的唯一有效方法。目前可获得的大部分抗蛇毒血清是基于F(ab’)2免疫球蛋白片段,这些片段是根据几十年前制定的稍微修改的方案从高免疫的马血浆中产生的。这些方案在处理高脂含量的原料时显示出严重的局限性。在这项工作中,我们建议对这些传统程序进行微小的修改,基于辛酸的添加,显着提高其脂质去除能力。设计用于最后阶段的方法显示,胆固醇和磷脂酰胆碱分别降低85- 98%和64- 99%。另一种替代方案,用于该过程的初始阶段,提高了四分之三的独立高免疫马血浆的脂质去除能力。值得注意的是,在所有辛酸处理的样品中也观察到寡聚物F(ab')2物种的显著减少。因此,在这项工作中开发和优化的方法提供了简单和负担得起的替代方案,以克服传统抗蛇毒血清生产方案的脂质去除限制。

Alum adjuvants do not induce Th1 responses with killed microorganisms, although Th1 responses are crucial for defending against intracellular microbes. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) can shift immune responses from Th2 toward Th1. This study assessed the benefits of combining CGA with alum on cellular and humoral immunity following immunization with a heat-killed preparation of Salmonella typhimurium (HKST). Male Balb/c mice received two doses of the HKST vaccine, with or without alum, CGA, or both, administered two weeks apart. Immune responses and protection against S. typhimurium were evaluated two weeks after the final dose.The alum and CGA combination enhanced the HKST vaccine's ability to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, and antibody titers, and alter the ratio of IgG2a/IgG in favor of IgG2a. These findings correlated with a shift toward a Th1 immune response and improved protective immunity against S. typhimurium. Also, the group receiving the combined adjuvant had a longer survival rate following exposure to the acute dose of S. typhimurium and had a lower bacterial load in the liver when exposed to the subacute dose of S. typhimurium compared to other immunization protocols. Overall,the combined alum and CGA significantly boosted cellular and humoral immunity following HKST immunization.
明矾佐剂不诱导Th1反应与杀死的微生物,尽管Th1反应是至关重要的防御细胞内微生物。绿原酸(CGA)可以将免疫反应从Th2转移到Th1。本研究评估了CGA和明矾在热杀鼠伤寒沙门菌(HKST)免疫后对细胞和体液免疫的益处。雄性Balb/c小鼠接受两剂HKST疫苗,含或不含明矾,CGA,或两者兼而有之,间隔两周注射。在最后一次给药后两周评估免疫反应和对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的保护作用。明矾和CGA组合增强了HKST疫苗刺激淋巴细胞增殖、延迟型超敏反应和抗体滴度的能力,并改变了IgG2a/IgG的比例,有利于IgG2a。这些发现与向Th1免疫反应的转变和对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的保护性免疫的改善有关。此外,与其他免疫方案相比,接受联合佐剂的组在暴露于急性剂量的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌后存活率更长,并且在暴露于亚急性剂量的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌时肝脏中的细菌负荷更低。总的来说,明矾和CGA的组合显著提高了HKST免疫后的细胞和体液免疫。

Animal testing has long supported the development and quality control of biotherapeutics and vaccines by ensuring safety and efficacy. However, its variability and time-consuming nature can delay product availability. Advances in non-animal technologies, guided by the 3Rs principles, have led to more efficient and scientifically robust alternatives. Recognizing the limitations of animal assays, WHO encourages their replacement when scientifically justified and has drafted a Guideline on phasing out animal tests in biological product quality control. Following public consultation, an informal meeting at WHO Headquarters brought together regulators, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to review the draft. The Guideline was developed based on ECBS recommendations and a review of existing WHO documents. Participants proposed improvements, including a revised title, to better emphasize the scientific rationale for replacing animal-based tests used in quality control scheme. These updates aim to support finalization of the document for a second public consultation and ECBS adoption.
长期以来,动物试验通过确保安全性和有效性来支持生物疗法和疫苗的开发和质量控制。然而,它的可变性和耗时的性质会延迟产品的可用性。在3r原则的指导下,非动物技术的进步带来了更有效、更科学的替代品。认识到动物试验的局限性,世卫组织鼓励在科学证明的情况下替代动物试验,并起草了一份关于在生物制品质量控制中逐步淘汰动物试验的指南。在公众咨询之后,世卫组织总部举行了一次非正式会议,监管机构、行业代表和其他利益攸关方齐聚一堂,审查该草案。该指南是根据欧洲安全委员会的建议和对世卫组织现有文件的审查制定的。与会者提出了改进意见,包括修订题目,以便更好地强调取代质量控制方案中使用的基于动物的试验的科学依据。这些更新旨在支持文档的最终定稿,以进行第二次公众咨询和ECBS采用。

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) product is a pooled human plasma-derived IgG medicinal product indicated for various immunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases. These indications have essentially been approved in Japan based on clinical evaluations of each product, but a harmonization or standardization of IVIg products would be helpful. We introduce a new Japanese regulatory perspective on the extrapolation of indications for approved IVIg products from a reference product composed of intact IgG (chemically unmodified full-length IgG) based on the consideration of the mode of action (MOA), a quality-comparability analysis, and the post-marketing clinical track record's re-examination regarding the products' efficacy and safety.
静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIg)产品是一种汇集的人血浆来源的IgG药物产品,适用于各种免疫缺陷和自身免疫性疾病。这些适应症在日本基本上是基于对每种产品的临床评估而获得批准的,但IVIg产品的统一或标准化将会有所帮助。我们介绍了一种新的日本监管观点,即基于考虑作用方式(MOA)、质量可比性分析和上市后临床记录对产品有效性和安全性的重新审查,从由完整IgG(化学未修饰的全长IgG)组成的参考产品推断已批准的IVIg产品的适应症。

This report is a summary of the 4th Conference on NGS for Adventitious Virus Detection, which took place on December 4–5, 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany, and was sponsored by the International Alliance for Biological Standardization (IABS), and co-chaired by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM). The increased interest in using NGS for adventitious virus detection follows its recent introduction in the ICH Q5A (R2) guideline and the new EDQM/European Pharmacopoeia general chapter 2.6.41. Key conference objectives included evaluating NGS validation and implementation, addressing regional challenges, and discussing regulatory acceptance as an alternative method to the conventional assays. The conference fostered networking between early and established NGS users and emphasized the Advanced Virus Detection Technologies Working Group as a key learning hub for NGS applications. Discussions focused on method validation requirements and the need for defining a specific limit of detection. Participants shared updates on scientific developments and regulatory submissions. A general consensus was reached on the readiness of NGS to replace the in vivo adventitious virus detection assays and PCR assays, and to supplement or replace the in vitro cell-based assays, based on a suitable validation package.
本报告是对2024年12月4日至5日在德国法兰克福举行的第四届外源性病毒检测NGS会议的总结,该会议由国际生物标准化联盟(IABS)主办,美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)和欧洲药品卫生质量理事会(EDQM)共同主持。在ICH Q5A (R2)指南和新的EDQM/欧洲药典通则2.6.41中引入NGS后,对使用NGS检测外源病毒的兴趣增加。会议的主要目标包括评估NGS的验证和实施,解决区域挑战,以及讨论作为传统分析方法的替代方法的监管接受程度。会议促进了早期和已建立的NGS用户之间的联系,并强调高级病毒检测技术工作组是NGS应用的关键学习中心。讨论集中在方法验证需求和定义特定检测限制的需要上。与会者分享了最新的科学发展和提交的监管文件。人们普遍认为,NGS可以替代体内的不定病毒检测方法和PCR检测方法,并在适当的验证包的基础上补充或替代体外细胞检测方法。
