The aim of this study was to establish a certified reference material (RM) for use as an internal control in the potency assay for the production chain of yellow fever vaccine. It was concluded that the new certified RM is sufficiently homogeneous and stable and can be used in routine analysis.
The attenuated yellow fever vaccine (YFV) is offered free of charge to the Brazilian population through the National Immunization Program (NIP). One of the specifications for quality control analyses of the vaccine is the potency determination. This test determines the number of plaque forming units (PFU) in Vero cells. In order to validate the results, the reference material (RM) is analysed in parallel with an established reference vaccine. The aim of this study was to establish certified RM for use as an internal control in the potency assay for the pro-duction chain of YFV. The candidate RM homogeneity and stability were determined, and characterized by a collaborative study for further certification. The RM was considered sufficiently homogeneous with average 4.68 log10 IU/HD and stable at (-20 +/- 10) degrees C and (22.5 +/- 2.5) degrees C for 715 and 183 days, respectively. When reconstituted and stored in aliquots of 0.6 mL, it was stable at (-20 +/- 10) degrees C for eight days. But it was not stable at (5 +/- 3) degrees C for three days. In a collaborative study, two independents' laboratories gave an averaged value of 4.56 +/- 0.030 log10 IU/HD. After determining the expanded uncertainty of homogeneity, stability, and charac-terization, the certified RM lot: 195VFA020Z presented a property value of 4.56 +/- 0.22 log10 IU/HD. It was concluded that the new certified RM can be used in routine analysis of a YFV producer, since it has its property value established and it is stable. The possibility of using it in aliquots after reconstitution will also allow the RM to have a much longer shelf life.
