In drying methods that did not involve a freezing step, good storage stability of Medi 534 vaccine in the dried form was found with low SSA and low vaccine surface accumulation, both of which integrate into low fraction of vaccine at the surface. Ice appears to be a major destabilizing influence.
Foam drying processing methods with appropriate selection of formulation components can produce an order of magnitude improvement in LAIV stability over other drying methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
