Overview

The Sanofi PER.C6 cell-based influenza vaccine is an experimental, trivalent, split-virion inactivated vaccine produced using the proprietary PER.C6 human embryonic retinal cell line. Developed through a 2003 partnership between Sanofi Pasteur and Crucell N.V., this vaccine was designed to provide an alternative to traditional egg-based manufacturing, potentially offering a more scalable and reliable production method for both seasonal and pandemic influenza. The vaccine contains hemagglutinin (HA) antigens from two influenza A subtypes (H1N1 and H3N2) and one influenza B lineage. Although it demonstrated a manageable safety profile in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, it showed lower immunogenicity (antibody titers) compared to Sanofi's egg-based Fluzone, leading to the cessation of its development in favor of other technologies like recombinant protein vaccines.
