Abstract
The present invention is based on the discovery of new and advantageous properties of a class of known polymeric emulsifiers. The emulsifier class was found to be resistant to degradation by crude bacterial antigen preparations, which degradation caused emulsion instability when using prior art emulsifiers. This allows the formulation of safe, stable, and effective vaccines based on these emulsions of oil and water comprising such bacterial antigens. The polymeric emulsifier is a block copolymer having a general formula A-B-A in which component B is the divalent residue of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol and component A is the residue of an oil-soluble complex monocarboxylic acid. Preferred emulsifier is a PEG-30-di-(polyhydroxystearate).
