Insect Cell-Based Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus Production: Molecular Process Optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
A n increasing number of clinical trials, and the recent approval of the first gene therapy in Europe, alipogene tiparvovec (Glybera®, uniQure), holds promise for recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) to become a mainstay in clinical practice. Since the molecular cloning of AAV in the 1980s, a plethora of production protocols/manufacturing systems for generating rAAV vectors have been developed. uniQure’s manufacturing platform, which has received validation through regulatory approval, is also capable of supporting industrial-scale production based on the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) and insect cells. In this paper, we review the molecular process optimization of the various components of uniQure’s rAAV production platform.

Construction of a Recombinant Bacmid DNA to Express Influenza Virus Matrix Protein1 (M1) in Insect Cell Line
Background and Aims: Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been suggested to be a promising recombinant vaccine approach. Several studies have reported that the influenza VLPs produced in insect cells is an effective vaccine candidate. Due to crucial role of matrix M1 protein in assembly and budding of Influenza particles, in all VLPs structures, M1 protein have been considered as a main component. ...

Introduction: In recent years, influenza viruses have caused moderate to severe infections all around the world while so far there is no influenza vaccine that can protect people with only one dose of injection. In this regard, producing a universal vaccine based on virus-like-particles (VLP) could be an ideal approach. Methods: In this study, the full-length ORF of influenza hemagglutini...

Background and Aims: Each year, the influenza virus causes moderate to severe infections with a high prevalence throughout the world. Accordingly, an influenza vaccine that ensures protection with only a single dose would be a much more cost effective approach to influenza prophylaxis. Generation of Influenza non-replicating virus-like particles (VLP) in baculoviral expression system is an attr...
متن کاملAn inducible system for highly efficient production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors in insect Sf9 cells.
Production of clinical-grade gene therapy vectors for human trials remains a major hurdle in advancing cures for a number of otherwise incurable diseases. We describe a system based on a stably transformed insect cell lines harboring helper genes required for vector production. Integrated genes remain silent until the cell is infected with a single baculovirus expression vector (BEV). The induc...
متن کاملGeneration of Helper Plasmids Encoding Mutant Adeno-associated Virus Type 2 Capsid Proteins with Increased Resistance against Proteasomal Degradation
Objective(s): Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) vectors are widely used for both experimental and clinical gene therapy. A recent research has shown that the performance of these vectors can be greatly improved by substitution of specific surface-exposed tyrosine residues with phenylalanines. In this study, a fast and simple method is presented to generate AAV2 vector helper plasmids encod...
