Each serotype is individually conjugated to non-toxic diphtheria CRM197 protein and adsorbed on aluminium phosphate (0.565 mg). CRM197 is a nontoxic variant of diphtheria toxin isolated from cultures of Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain C7 (β197) grown in a casamino acids and yeast extract-based medium."
