Several glycoconjugate vaccines have been licensed or are currently in clinical development to prevent bacterial infections. Here we report the development of a single analytical assay to quantify the conjugated saccharide content, as alternative to two separated total and free (unconjugated) saccharide assays used so far, for a quadrivalent conjugate vaccine containing meningococcal serogroup A polysaccharide (alpha-1,6-linked N-acetylmannosamine phosphate repeating unit partly O-acetylated at position C3 or C4) coupled with CRM197 protein. The results confirm a high linear correlation among the two approaches (conjugated saccharide content vs. difference of total saccharide and free saccharide). Conjugated saccharide content estimation is therefore demonstrated to be a suitable method to monitor the product quality of vaccines containing meningococcal serogroup A conjugate antigen, in the final filled presentation as demonstrated here and potentially on the bulk conjugate before formulation.
