Abstract
The production of viral vaccines usually employs different unit operations where formulation and filling are the final steps of downstream processing (DSP). However, complex DSP is often hard to realize in research laboratories focusing on novel vaccine candidates. Moreover, there are no real ready-to-use tools for high-throughput DSP of whole virus particles that can speed up development. Because of these needs we developed a new platform for easy and straightforward whole virus particle purification and formulation based on magnetic sulfated cellulose particles (MSCP)1,2.
Proof of concept was carried out with an influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) whole virus vaccine for the immunization of mice. The virus particles were produced in suspension MDCK cells, clarified, inactivated, and concentrated using a standard protocol. After diafiltration to low salt buffer, the virus particles were bound to the MSCP and the virus loaded MSCP were washed and resuspended in formulation buffer.
