In general, adjuvants play a very important role in vaccine. SBP is a HBsAg-binding protein which is screened out from human liver cDNA expression library. SBP has been confirmed to promote dendritic cells (DC) to phagocytize HBsAg more effectively and enhance the immunogenicity. These results suggest that SBP could be developed into a safe and promising adjuvant of Hepatitis B vaccine. In this study, the secretory SBP recombinant Pichia pastroris strain is cultured and fermentated, then SBP is purified from fermentation supernatant. The proportion of SBP in hepatitis B vaccine (Hansenula Polymorpha) is studied, finally a hepatitis B vaccine with the novel adjuvant SBP is manufactured and tested totally according to the requirements. All of the test items are qualified. Its safety, efficacy and stability are evaluated. The efficacy is significantly superior than the control vaccine. The safety and stability are qualified. The results indicate that the novel Hepatitis B vaccine is expected to overcome nonresponsiveness and hyporesponsiveness in a significant number of individuals, and to shorten the hepatitis B vaccine standard 3-dose vaccination regimen to 2-dose regimen, which need to be validated by clinical trials.
