title: Molecular sizing of individual polysaccharides in polyvalent pneumococcal and meningococcal vaccines by column chromatography and immunoelectrophoresis.
abstract: We determined the molecular size of meningococcal and pneumococcal polysaccharides in final vaccines, using a combination of column chromatography and simple rocket immunoelectrophoresis. We found a good correlation between the distribution coefficients obtained with UV monitoring or ELISA and immunoelectrophoresis.
