A vaccine for eliciting polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP) antibody formation in a warm-blooded animal has been invented. The vaccine comprises the capsular polysaccharide PRP isolated and purified from Haemophilus influenzae type b combined with a diphtheria, Bordetella pertussis and tetanus (DPT) vaccine. A method of making a vaccine for eliciting polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) antibody formation in a warm-blooded animal has also been invented. The method of making comprises obtaining purified PRP; dissolving the PRP in phosphate buffered saline solution having a pH of about 7.0; sterile filtering the PRP solution; and combining the PRP solution with a diphtheria, B. pertussis and tetanus vaccine. Finally, a method for inducing active immunization in a warm-blooded animal against systemic infection caused by the pathogen H. influenzae type b has been invented. The method of using comprises administering an immunogenic amount of a vaccine comprising the capsular polysaccharide polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP) isolated and purified from H. influenzae type b combined with a diphtheria, B. pertussis and tetanus (DPT) vaccine. |
