Duration of treatment : 3 injections at one month interval.
Criteria : - Occurrence of local and systemic reactions for 48
hours following each vaccine injection. - Poliovirus type 1, 2 and
3 neutralising antibody titres before the first injection, one
month after the second injection and one month after the third
injection.
Statistical methods : Results are described without statistical
analysis.
Summary : Clinical safety :
* For infants recruited in FRANCE : - 6 presented local reactions
after vaccination (108 injections) : induration or erythema. - 5
presented general reactions atler vaccination (1 08 injections) :
fever which lasted 12 to 48 hours, anorexia or diarrhoea. All these
children received the same day DTP vaccine. * For infants recruited
in TUNISIA, none of them presented reactions.
lmmunoaenicitv of the IPV vaccine :
Only sera from infants recruited in FRANCE were analysed.
Neutralising antibody titres against poliomyelitis antigens
When analysis is made taking into account the age group at the
beginning of vaccination (2 to 6 months or 7 to 11 months), results
confirm the excellent immunogenicity of IPV in both groups.
Conclusions : This study confirrns good safety of this vaccine and
the excellent irnmunogenicity of this product after the second
injection which is reinforced after the third.

INTRODUCTION
Po l iomye l i t i s , an en te r i c i l l n e s s of v i r a l o
r i g i n , i s due t o three
pathogenic types 1, II, and III. This s t r i c t l y human disease
sometimes
at tacks the an te r i o r horn o f the spinal cord, i n some cases
leading to
a p a r a l y t i c syndrome. It i s a c h i l d i s h i l l n e s
s o f the f i r s t two years
o f 1 i f e .
This disease i s world-wide and when faced w i t h the
powerlessness o f
medicines, the importance o f prophylaxis i s undeniable.
Two vaccine presentat ions are on the market : an o ra l attenuated
form
and an inac t i va ted form. These two vaccines have been used i n
d i f f e r e n t l y ,
some countr ies using on ly the l i v e attenuated form and others
the i nac t i va t
form, whi le other countr ies use both. Epidemical r e s u l t s i
n countr ies
where vaccine coverage i s p r a c t i c a l l y complete show the
almost t o t a l
e l im ina t ion o f the i l l ness , although a ' s t r e e t c i
r c u l a t i o n ' o f v i r u s
pers is ts . These resu l t s are those o f countr ies w i t h a
wel l -developed
medical service.
But the p o s i t i o n i s t o t a l l y d i f f e r e n t i n
developing countr ies, where the
i l l n e s s represents a heavy burden t o the populat ion because
o f the
handicapped v ict ims.
Campaigns f o r mass vaccinat ion are organised , using, most f
requent ly
the o r a l form o f vaccine which i s more p rac t i ca l and
economical.
But ce r t a i n f a i l u r e s have appeared due t o :
1) the o r a l form demands a heal thy i n t e s t i n e for v i r
a l
implantat ion. Thus, i n some countr ies, d iges t i ve i l l
nesses i r r i t a t i n g
the i n t e s t i n a l mucous membranes, are factors i n the f a i
l u r e of vaccine
t a k i ng .
The number o f doses must then be increased. Certain c l i n i c a
l studies
show the insu f f i c iency o f three doses and i t i s only a f t
e r 5 o ra l
doses t h a t the cor rect r a t e o f seroconversion i s
obtained.
2 ) This o ra l form i s r e l a t i v e l y unstable and
demands
c e r t a i n conservation ob l igat ions which are d i f f i c u l
t t o apply i n ce r t a i n
regions o f the globe.
3 ) The l i v e v i rus , when i t mu l t i p l i es , can i n f e
c t
non-immunized contacts o r fami l y members. Thus, f o r example, i
n the
U.S.A. the ra re cases o f po l i omye l i t i s ex i s t i ng are
found i n contacts.
4 ) This vaccine i s , o f course, contra-indicated i n
imnuno-deficiency, which i s sometimes d i f f i c u l t t o
detect, due t o the
subjects ' young age.
5 ) L ive vaccine v i r u s can mutate and may ( r a re l y ) r e
tu rn
t o neuro virulence.
On the o ther hand, k i l l e d vaccines i n t h e i r present form
also have
some inconveniences :
1) They are given a t a l a t e r age due t o the presence o
f
materna1 antibodies.
2) They are more expensive than 1 i v e vaccines.
3 ) Their production needs a greater number o f monkoy kidney
c e l l s .
4) They requ i re co r rec t v i r a l i nac t i va t ion .
A l 1 these r ap id l y discussed problems have l e d t o research
i n t o the
improvement o f the products. I n t h i s way, thanks t o the
impulsion o f
- Mr SALK, interest in a new inactivated vaccine was aroused.
A Dutch team from the RIJKS institute developed a technique for the
massive culture of pol iomyel i t i s virus. This technique uses
monkey primary kidney cells in suspension on micro-beads as a way
of obtaining concentrated vaccines, standardised on the D antigen
content. Clinical studies were then carried o u t which
demonstrated t h a t the antigen concentration meant better
imunization and possibly a reduction in the vaccination
doses.
Following these conclusions, i t was possible t o envisage a
product which could be manufactured on a large scale (leading t o a
lowering of
costs) and would give a simplified vaccination schema which could
be used in an expanded vaccination programne.
So, the Mérieux Institute turned t o this new development, so as t
o define a concentrated, inactivated product which woul d avoid the
previousl y
mentioned draw-backs.
Inactivated concentrated vaccines have already been widely used
(studies in Finland, Israel). These studies have made i t possible
t o define :
1) The concentration in D antigen units defined as 40 units for
type 1, 8 units for type 2 and 32 units for type 3.
2 ) The qua1 i ty of the anti body response
3) The tolerance t o the product.
The vaccine used in this clinical study i s a t the same
concentration as tha' defined in the f i r s t studies. The vaccine
differs from the other studies by the ce11 substratum, which i s
not constituted by monkey kidney primary
ce1 l s , b u t by Vero cells from monkeys, in a continuous 1
ine.
- The c l i n i c a l t r i a l descr i bed shoul d demonstrate the
serol ogical
e f f i c i ency w i t h regard t o the 3 types o f pol iomyel i t
i s and the
c l i n i c a l safety o f the vaccine.

CONCLUSIONS
We have car r ied out, on I n s t i t u t Merieux's request, a c l
i n i c a l
experimentation using a new inact ivated po l i omye l i t i s
vaccine : new by
i t s production which takes place i n biogenerator and using a new
ce11
substratum, and new i n i t s antigen expression, t h i s vaccine
being much more
concentrated than present preparations.
This c l i n i c a l study i s aimed a t ve r i f y ing , on the
one hand, the
s a f e t y o f the product, and, on the other, i t s e f f ic
iency.
This c l i n i c a l study lias been car r ied out i n 2
populations o f chi ldren, one i
the Centre de Péd r i a t r i e de Clochev i l le i n Tours and the
other a t the
I n s t i t u t National de l 'Enfance i n Tunis.
The c l i n i c a l follow-up o f the vaccinat ing scheme o f three
vaccine
in jec t ions , a t one monthly in te rva ls , showed :
1) The s a f e t y o f the product :
36 ch i ld ren i n Tours received 3 i n j ec t i ons o f
vaccine.
- 3 ch i l d ren presented an indurat ion a t the i n j e c t i o n
s i t e
- 3 o ther ch i ld ren presented erythema a t the i n j e c t i o n
s i t e .
These l oca l react ions were present f o r one i n j ec t i on ,
but d i d not reoccur
on fu r ther in jec t ions .
General Reactions :
- 3 ch i ld ren presented fever i n the evening o f the i n j ec t
i on , which d i d
not exceed 48 hours, and
- 1 c h i l d presented anorexia a t i t s f i r s t i n j e c t i
o n and rh ino-
pharangi t is w i t h d iarrhea a t the t h i r d .
I t should be noted that these reactions were present when the
children - received the DT Coq the same day. When the children
received a further injection of polio vaccine alone, none had any
hyperthermic reacti,:n.
The tolerance of this product thus appears excellent.
2 ) Efficiency of th is vaccine :
After 2 , and more so after 3 vaccinations, al1 the children
presented protective antibody formation, in spite of the presence
of materna1 anti bodies.
Tours, 15th March, 1982
Expert clinicien agrée.
B ) The ------- subiects ---- -
I n order t o study sero-conversion following an injection of
trivalent poliomyelitis vaccine, the population studied must
include very young children whose minimum age i s 2 months and
maximum age one year.
The number of children must be of a minimum of 30 subjects.
Our population comes from :
1) Children from the Centre de Pédriatrie de Clocheville i n Tours,
having been vaccinated. A clinical tolerance and serological study
was carried o u t .
2 ) Children from the Inst i tut National de 1 'Enfance in Tunis,
having received th is vaccine. A cl inical tolerance study was
carried out.
C ) The descrietion of the eroduct : ---------- ------------ ------
A polyvalent inactivated vaccine of 0.5 ml prepared from 3 ~ t r a
i n s of polio virus :
Mahoney strain fo r type 1
MEFl strain for type 2
Saukett s train for type 3
The viruses are cultivated on a Vero ce11 line.
The culture of the ce l l s and virus i s carried o u t in tanks
(biogenerators)
usi ng the microcarrier method. The viral suspensions are
concentrated by u l t r a f i l tration, purified by molecular
sieving (gel f i l t r a t ion) and
by chromatography .
. Viral inactivation is done by heat and formaldehyde. - The
antigen composition of each vaccination dose is based on the
antigen D content, fixed at :
40 D units for type 1 8 D units for type 2 32 D units for type
3
wi th added phenol red 10 pg
preservatives 2 phenoxyethanol 0.5 % V/V 2.5 p l ethanol 0.5 % V/V
2.5 pl formaldehyde 12.5 pg.
The antibiotics used during preparation are :
streptomycin
neomyc i n
polymyxine B sulphate.
These antibiotics are no longer dosable in the final product
because
of the high purification.
r Blood samples were taken and a minimal quantity of 2 ml of
complete blood were harvested on DO, D + 60 and D + 90.
The blood is centrifuged so as to obtain the serum which is
immediately
frozen at - 20°C.
Each tube harvested was coded differently for each sampling and
each
child, decoding taking place after the ti tering of the anti
bodies.
+ ~ h e titering of the antibodies was carried out by the
laboratories of Institut Mérieux in Mrs Xueref's department : they
are expressed
in 2 modalities : .
- the seroneutralisation test against the 3 types. Technique in
microcupules on Hep 2 cells.
Dilution from 2 to 2, from 1/4 to 8192 and from 1/6 to 6144.
- conversion into international units established according to WHO
standards.
The titerings were carried out in 3 series on 22/10/81,
3/12/81,
and 17/12/81.
This study is aimed at creating imnunity to the poliomyelitis virus
by means of the vaccine above described.
1) Product employed :
Poliomyelitis vaccine in a 0.5 ml solution L o t S 1063.
Concentration of the types :
Type 1 79 D units
Type 2 9 D units
Type 3 34 D units.
2) Methods : each child receives 3 doses o f vaccine at one
monthly intervals.
D + 60 Blood sampling
The vaccine injections were al1 carried out intrarnuscularly
into the deltoid region in children in good health.
The clinical follow-up was carried out in the 48 hours
following
the injection : local tolerance (erythema-induration-pain) as
well
as possible general reactions (indisposition, fever) were noted.
This information is noted on the clinical form, drawn up for each
child.

Average age : 4 months.
13 g i r l s 13 boys.
20 ch i ld ren from Tunis i n whom tolerance alone was
observed.
2") C l i n i c a l tolerance : (see a t t a c h e n t 2) - 36 ch i

e l t o i d region, o r i n the supra o r sub spinal fossa.
- Local react ions :
3 ch i ld ren presented a t the i n j e c t i o n po in t 1 durat
ion
3 other ch i ld ren presented a t the i n j e c t i o n po in t 1
erythema.
- Generalised react ions :
3 ch i ld ren presented fever i n the evening o f the vaccination,
which las ted 12 t o 48 hours.
1 c h i l d presented anorexia a t the 1 s t vaccination and
rhino-pharyngi t is w i t h d iarrhea f o r the 3rd
vaccination.
But the ch i l d ren presenting hyperthennia o r anorexia, a l 1
received the same day a vaccinat ion w i t h associated DT Coq.
.
I n addit ion, when these same ch i l d ren received the po l
iomyel i t i s vaccine alone, they had no general i sed react

It can be deduced t h a t these general ised reactions are l i n
ked t o the i n j e c t i o n o f DT Coq.

1, the undersigned, Professeur Bechir HAMZA, Professeur de Ped ia t

t the admin is t ra t ion o f the inact iva ted b i o p o l i o
vaccine, Lot S 1063, from I n s t i t u t Mérieux, was fo l lowed
by no secondary reactions.
Professeur B. Hamza.
3") Serological resul t s : Only the sera o f the ch i ld ren from
Tours were t i te red . From the 36 ch i ld ren observed we
have
- obtained : 30 t r i p l e sera 36 double sera 35 s ing le
san~plings.
The resu l t s are evaluated according t o the antibody t i t e r s
obtained a f t e r the f i r s t two i n j ec t i ons and a f t e r
the t h i r d i n j e c t i o n o f vaccine.
Bearing i n mind the m d a i i t i e s o f the seroneutral isat
ion, a subject i s considered as non-imnune when h i s serum
presents no discernable antibodies i n 114 d i l u t i o n , the f
i r s t d i l u t i o n c o n t r o l l ed.
The demonstration o f the ef fect iveness o f vaccination can be
expressed i n d i f f e r e n t ways :
3 - 1) Percentage o f imnunity f o r each type (see tables 1, 2 and
3 )
Table 1 concerns the c h i l d populat ion as a whole. The
percentage o f immune ch i ld ren i s la rge f o r the 3 types
before vaccination. This i s due t o maternal antibodies, f o r the
average age o f t h i s populat ion i s very low (4 months).
Seroconversion a f t e r 2 vaccinations i s exce l len t since 100
% o f the subjects are imnune w i t h regard t o the three
types.
Tables 2 and 3 ind ica te respec t i ve ly the resul t s f o r the
age groups 2 t o 6 months and 7 t o 11 months. As i s natural , i t
i s the 2 t o 6 month group which contains the most subjects imnune
before vaccination, an imnuni t y corresponding t o maternal a n t
i bodies.
The 7 t o 11 month group o f ch i l d ren which i s very small (N =
6 ) has a low percentage o f niembers immune before vaccination,
whatever the type, i t being o f 16.6 % f o r the types 1, 2, 3.
The sero- conversion confirms the exce l len t resu l ts, a l 1
subjects being immune a f t e r the f i r s t two in jec t ions
.
3 - 2) Evolut ion o f the geometrical average o f the l eve l o f a
n t i bodies expressed :
a) i n d i l u t i o n ( tab le 4) b) i n i n t e rna t i ona l u n
i t s ( t ab le 5)
I n the populat ion as a whole, the average o f antibodies o f a
naterna1 o r i g i n i s low f o r the three types, being respect
ive ly f o r types 1, 2, and 3 o f 8,15 and 8 (expressed i n
inverse o f d i l u t i o n ) and of 0.20, 1.96 and 0.36 (expressed
i n i n t e rna t i ona l un i t s ) .
Af ter the f i r s t two vaccine in jec t ions , the r i s e i n
ant ibodies i s considerable f o r a l 1 three types. The t h i r d
i n j e c t i o n leads t o a r i s e i n antibodies o f type 1 and
above a l 1 type 2.
3 - 3) Expression in cumulated percentages of the distribution of
the antibodies (table 6 - figures 1, 2 , 3 . ) -
3 - 4) Response of the triple and double negatives (tables 7 and
8)
In Our child population, 9 belong t o this category. Seroconversion
after the f i r s t two injections and more so after the three
injections, leads t o 100 % seroconversion with high-level t i ters
.
3 - 5 ) Presence of maternal antibodies :
Most of the children in Our sampling present, due t o their young
age, antibodies of a maternal origin, which may reach high t i ters
as with the child No 3 (see l i s t of serological results). The
high antigenicity of the vaccine makes i t possible t o overcome
this obstacle and t o create immunity by vaccination, whatever the
type.
CONCLUS ION
This sero log ica l study shows the e x c e l l e n t e f f i c i e
n c y o f t h i s vaccine, which makes i t possible w i t h 2 i n j
e c t i o n s t o i m u n i z e completely Our population o f c h i
l d r e n from the age o f 2 months, i n s p i t e of the presence
o f materna1 antibodies.

GENERAL CONCLUS IONS
- The inact iva ted po l i omye l i t i s vaccines a t present avai
lable t o the population, have made i t possible i n ce r ta in
countr ies (such as Scandinavia) t o jugulate and e l iminate t h i
s i l l ness .
The new vaccine used i n t h i s c l i n i c a l study should make
i t possible t o replace the present inact iva ted preparations, f
o r i t presents c e r t a i n advantages :
1) To e l iminate the dependance on monkeys which are now r a r e
animais and d i f f i c u l t t o rear, by using as a ce11
substrata, continuous l i n e ce l l s .
2 ) To increase the a n t i g e n i c i t y o f the vaccine
antigens, the recording o f the imnunity memory making i t possible
t o decrease the doses, a considerable advantage f o r the vaccine
calendars i n newly developing countr ies. It i s thus possib le t
o imnunize ch i ld ren from the age o f 2 months i n s p i t e o f
the presence o f maternal antibodies.
3) To lower the cost o f t h i s vaccine by the cu l t u re method
which al lows massive i n d u s t r i a l cul ture.
4 ) The erad icat ion o f t h i s exc lus ive ly human i l l ness ,
e l im ina t ion o f w i l d c i r cu la t i on .
5) To take the place o f the o ra l vaccine, whose ef fect iveness
i s under question i n t r o p i c a l count r ies and which
allows, i n count r ies w i t h a developed medical st ructure, a l
eve l o f res idua l paralyses t o subsist i n ce r t a i n
subjects, and i n non-vacci nated contacts, and a lso the p o s s i
b i l i t y o f a r e tu rn t o v i ru lence of attenuated vaccine
s t r a i ns i n c i r c u l a t i o n i n nature (water) . E a r l
i e r studies ca r r ied ou t i n Finland, Sweden, I s rae l and /.
fr ican count r ies have shown, f i r s t l y , t h a t the
imnunity created against pol iomyel i t i s i s dependant on the an
t igen ic i t y contained i n the vaccines and t o determine the
dose o f antigens f i x e d a t :
40 D u n i t s f o r type 1 8 D u n i t s f o r type 2
32 D u n i t s f o r type 3
These studies were ca r r i ed ou t w i t h vaccines c u l t i va
ted on the same p r i n c i p l e as the vaccine used fo r Our
study but using primary monkey ce1 1 s as a substrata.
Our c l i n i c a l study confirms :
1) The harmlessness o f t h i s vaccine c u l t i v a t e d on Vero
ce11 S. No l oca l o r general ised s e n s i t i v i t y phenomena
have been noted a f t e r repeated vaccination.
2 ) The e f f i c iency o f the product : Our study was car r ied
out i n very young ch i ld ren (average age 4 months) and despi t e
the presence of maternal a n t i bodies, the vaccinat ion
response
i s excel lent , f o r a f t e r 2 i n jec t ions , 100 % protect
ion i s obtained and the antibody average i s (expressed i n
inverse o f d i l u t i o n ) :
396 f o r type 1 - 156 f o r type 2 623 f o r type 3
The t h i r d i n j e c t i o n re in forces the immunity obtained
a f te r the f i r s t two i n j ec t i ons and i s a t :
572 f o r type 1 353 f o r type 2 604.5 f o r type 3
I n conclusion and bearing i n mind the attached report , we
consider as h igh ly desirable the d i f f us i on i n the medical
serv ice o f t h i s new inac t i va ted p o l i o vaccine which
gives immunization against po l i o m y e l i t i s from a very ea

etait triple ndgatif. Parmi les 6 enfants Agds de 7 a I l mois, un
seul avait un titre dtkelable d'anticorps antipolio contre les
trois types. Les cinq autres &aient triples n6gatifs.
Avant la t r o l r i ho Injocüon (J60). soit un mois aprds la
deuxrbme dose, 36 enfants avaient un titre significatif d'anticorps
neutralisants contre les trois serotypes. Les moyennes géom6triques
des titres, exprimées en inverse des di lutm. sont reportées dans
le tableau 1. La figure 1 montre les pourcentages cumu- latifs des
titres contre chacun des trois sérotyp~ qui ont 616 observes
respectivement avant la premidre dose (JO), un mois apr6s la
deuxième dose (J6û) et un mois aprds la troisième injection (J90).
L w titres obterrus aprds deux ou trois doses ne sont pas
signifmüvment diff6rents.
