Active Ingredient

Anthrax antigen induces antibodies raised against PA that may contribute to protection by neutralizing the activities of the cytotoxic lethal toxin and edema toxin of Bacillus anthracis.

Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) is a bacteria responsible for severe pneumonia, meningitis and other invasive diseases almost exclusively in young children. Vaccines are the only public health tool capable of preventing the majority of serious Hib disease.

Typhoid, live attenuated, vaccine contains strains of Salmonella typhi, the etiological agent of typhoid fever, an acute, febrile enteric disease. The S. typhi Ty21a vaccine strain, by virtue of a reduction in enzymes essential for lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, is restricted in its ability to produce complete lipopolysaccharide. However, a sufficient quantity of complete lipopolysaccharide is synthesized to evoke a protective immune response.
