Influenza virions are enveloped particles of spherical or elongated shape, measuring 80-120 nm in diameter and containing a

segmented, single-stranded, negative-senseRNA genome. Influenzavirus A is divided intosubtypes on the basis of the two antigenicglycoproteins, haemagglutinin (HA) andneuraminidase (NA). HA is responsible for attachment of the virus to specific receptors onthe host cell surface and mediates a fusionreaction between the viral envelope and the cellmembrane through which the viral genomegains access to the interior of the cell. NA isresponsible for cleaving the host cell receptor,releasing progeny virus from the infected cell

surface.

Physicochemical and other relevant propertiesof the drug substance, including biologicalactivity

Each monovalent drug substance is a sterile,suspension prepared from influenza virus type A or B, which is propagated in the allantoiccavity of embryonated chicken eggs. After harvesting, the influenza virus is inactivated,purified, detergent-split, and sterile-filtered. Thecontent of each drug substance is standardized

on the basis of hemagglutinin (HA) antigen. Inaddition to the HA proteins, other influenza andegg-derived proteins are present. The drugsubstance is stored in pre-sterilized, single-usefluid handling bags at 2-8°C until formulation of the trivalent vaccine drug product. The specificstrains of influenza virus that are included in thevaccine are selected annually by the U.S. FDA,in collaboration with other Public Health Serviceagencies and the WHO.

Test Justi fication of Specifications

pH  This limit was chosen as it is specified for other aluminium-adjuvanted vaccines manufactured by Company PA

Description This is based on known properties of the drug product.

Extractable Volume 

The target fill volume is 11.2 mL to ensure the ability towithdraw 20 x 0.5mL single doses per vial when using a 1mLsyringe. The end user withdraws each single dose with a newsyringe, thus some product loss occurs during this procedure,which necessitates the approximate 1.2mL overfill.

Strain identity This is to ensure that the correct strain is used.

HA Content This limit was chosen as it is specified for other influenzavaccines manufactured by Company PA

Sterility This is based on the sterile requirement for the product.

Endotoxin (LAL)The specifications and the limit is in compliance with the Ph.Eur.: 0158 monograph requirement.

Thiomersal The limit is in compliance with the Ph. Eur.: 0158 monographrequirement.

 AluminiumThe specification is consistent with the limit used for other Company PA aluminium-adjuvanted vaccines.
