Abstract
Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease and is a major global health threat, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, we describe the optimization of virus production for a dengue live-attenuated quadrivalent vaccine candidate and demonstrate scalability of a stirred tank bioreactor serum-free microcarrier process. We utilized a design-of-experiment (DoE) methodology to optimize for pH and temperature and evaluate effect of Multiplicity of Infection (MOI) and Time of Infection (TOI) for each serotype during virus production in 2 L and 3 L bioreactors. The optimal pH and temperature for dengue virus production achieved ∼10× higher virus titer at peak virus production for all 4 serotypes compared to baseline condition. Different MOI and TOI did not impact peak virus production. Results from the DoE studies were successfully scaled to the 50 L Single-Use Bioreactor (SUB).
登革热是一种蚊媒疾病,是一种主要的全球健康威胁,特别是在热带和亚热带地区。在这项研究中,我们描述了登革热四价减毒活疫苗候选病毒生产的优化,并证明了搅拌槽生物反应器无血清微载体工艺的可扩展性。采用实验设计(DoE)方法,在2l和3l生物反应器中优化pH和温度,并评估每种血清型的感染多重性(Multiplicity of Infection, MOI)和感染时间(Time of Infection, TOI)的影响。与基线条件相比,在所有4种血清型中,登革热病毒生产的最佳pH和温度在病毒生产高峰时的病毒滴度提高了约10倍。不同的MOI和TOI对病毒产量峰值没有影响。DoE研究的结果成功地扩展到50 L一次性生物反应器(SUB)。
