Abstract
The present study evaluated the local and systemic tolerability of vaccine formulation components in the absence of antigen following intranasal and sublingual administration in outbred white laboratory mice. The investigated substances included excipients of the vaccine formulation mannitol and gelatin at various concentrations as well as phosphate-buffered saline and water for injection, which are used as technological components during the development of vaccine candidates. The control group consisted of intact animals.
Tolerability was assessed over a 10-day observation period based on clinical condition, body weight dynamics, and key blood biochemical parameters. All tested substances demonstrated good tolerability: no clinically significant local or systemic reactions were observed, and the evaluated biochemical parameters remained within reference ranges. Based on the overall assessment, mannitol at a concentration of 5% and gelatin at 0.5% were identified as optimal.
The obtained results indicate the safety of the investigated excipients and technological components and confirm their suitability for use at the preclinical stage of development of vector-based anti-brucellosis vaccine candidates utilizing an influenza virus platform.
Supporting agencies: This study was supported by the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan under grant No. BR25293294 entitled Vaccine against brucellosis based on genomic technologies for the period 2024 to 2026
