摘要:
The present invention process a process for conjugation of an antigen comprising the steps of a) activating the antigen to form an activated antigen; b) reacting the activated antigen and a carrier protein or a linker to form an imine group linking the activated antigen to the carrier protein or the linker; and c) reducing the imine group using a reducing agent comprising a triacetoxyborohydride moeity to form a conjugated antigen or an antigen-linker; and optionally d) reacting the antigen linker with a carrier protein to form a conjugated antigen; optionally wherein the antigen originates from Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella Vi, or Staphylococcus epidermidis, optionally further comprising a step a') of lyophilising the activated antigen and a carrier protein followed by reconstitution in DMSO or DMF.
