Abstract

A trivalent influenza split vaccine was formulated at high concentration for coating on the transdermal microneedle system. Monovalent vaccine bulks of three influenza strains, two influenza A strains, and one B strain were diafiltrated, concentrated, and lyophilized. The lyophilized powder of each vaccine strain was separately reconstituted and subsequently combined into a coating formulation of high concentration trivalent vaccine. The formulation process converted the monovalent vaccine bulks with low hemagglutinin (HA) concentrations 0.1 mg/mL into a viscous, emulsion containing HA at ~50 mg/mL. This physically stable emulsion demonstrated viscosity 1 poise and 30° contact angle for effective, homogeneous coating on each microneedle. Evaluation of the vaccine antigen HA by SRID and SDS-PAGE/Western blot showed that HA remained stable throughout the vaccine transdermal microneedle system manufacturing process and 1-year ambient storage (25°C). Anti-influenza antibody responses were evaluated by ELISA and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay after primary and booster immunization with the vaccine-coated transdermal microneedle systems at either 25-μg or 40-μg total HA. The results showed the induction of serum anti-influenza IgG and anti-HA neutralizing antibodies after primary immunization and significant titer rises after booster immunization for both doses, indicating the dry-coated trivalent vaccine delivered by transdermal microneedle system elicited both primary and recall antibody responses against all three antigen strains. The study demonstrates that the transdermal microneedle system provides an attractive alternative for influenza vaccine delivery with key advantages such as preservative-free and room-temperature storage.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
