Bordetella pertussis
Stainer-Scholte modified by casamino acids and dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin
Corynebacterium diphtheria
Modified Mueller’s growth medium. Detoxified using formaldehyde Purified using serial ammonium sulfate fractionation and diafiltration
Poliovirus Type 1, Type 2, Type 3
Each grown in separate cultures of MRC-5 cells, a line of normal human diploid cells
Clostridium tetani
Modified Mueller-Miller casamino acid medium without beef heart infusion. Detoxified using formaldehyde and purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation and diafiltration.
Haemophilus influenzae type b strain 1482
Grown in a semi-synthetic medium. The tetanus toxoid for conjugation to PRP is prepared by ammonium sulfate purification, and formalin inactivation of the toxin from cultures of Clostridium tetani (Harvard strain) grown in a modified Mueller and Miller medium. The toxoid is filter sterilized prior to the conjugation process.
