How does formaldehyde work?
modifies protein and disrupts the viral RNA (because it is shorter) so the inactivated virus binds
less
what was the the cutter labs case
they produced a defective salk polio vaccine that incompletely inactivated the virus with
formaldehyde causing several incidences of vaccine induced polio
how many children infected, developed muscle weakness, became paralyzed, died, and were
indirectly infected as a result of the cutter labs incompletely inactivated polio vaccine
220 000 infected, 70 000 muscle weakness, 164 paralyzed, 10 dies, 100 000 indirectly infected
4 results from congressional hearings about the cutter lab case
error and failure of oversight that guided the development of safety guidelines
cutter did not validate the salk process in their own facility
filtration, storage and inactivation were all inadequate
9/27 lots failed safety tests but were not reported to the regulator
what is the basis for product approval
