  • Publication number: 20160040124
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of increased culture pH, relative to standard insect cell culture conditions, during baculovirus infection of lepidopteran insect cells to enable production of recombinant chikungunya (CHIKV) virus like particles (VLPs). The invention further relates to adapted insect cell lines derived from insect cells such as Sf21, which can grow robustly at elevated culture pH, the use of said cell lines to recombinantly produce pH sensitive proteins in the correct conformation and increase expression of recombinant proteins relative to standard insect cell lines. In some embodiments of the invention, the cells are useful for recombinant production of CHIKV VLPs. The invention also relates to a method for the production of a pH-adapted lepidopteran insect cell line. In some embodiments of said method, the cell line is produced and/or maintained in reduced phosphate serum-free insect cell media.

  • Publication number: 20150307850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cytomegalovirus (CMV) which has been recombinantly altered to express a heterologous polypeptide and to allow for external control of viral replication. The heterologous polypeptide may be a polypeptide of interest such as an antigen, antibody or immune modulator. The CMV vectors of the invention are replication defective, or chemically controllable replication capable, or replication competent. The present invention also relates to uses of the CMV vectors such as inducing an immune response to an antigen or expressing an antibody or immune modulator in vivo. Compositions comprising the CMV expressing the heterologous polypeptide are also encompassed by the present invention.
