Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for use in the production of adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles, comprising recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Sf9 insect cells as viral production cells. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Baculoviral Expression Vectors (BEVs) and Baculoviral Infected Insect Cells (BIICs) in the production of AAV particles.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for use in the production of adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles, including recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Baculoviral Expression Vectors (BEVs) in the production of AAV particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells (such as Sf9 or Sf21) as viral production cells. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use BEVs which lacks a portion or an entirety of the v-cath gene or includes a mutationally inactivated version of the v-cath gene.

In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells (such as Sf9 or Sf21) as viral production cells. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Baculoviral Expression Vectors (BEVs) in the production of AAV particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system uses an engineered nucleic acid construct which encodes for AAV capsid proteins, such as VP1, VP2 and VP3. In certain embodiments, the production process and system uses an engineered nucleic acid construct which encodes for AAV replication proteins, such as Rep78 and Rep52.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for use in the production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system include engineered untranslated regions (UTR) which allow for the controlled expression of AAV capsid proteins, such as VP1, VP2 and VP3. In certain embodiments, the production process and system include engineered untranslated regions (UTR) which allow for the controlled expression of non-structural AAV replication proteins, such as Rep78 and Rep52.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel MDCK cells which can be to grow viruses, e.g., influenza viruses, in cell culture to higher titer than previously possible. The MDCK cells can be adapted to serum-free culture medium. The present invention further relates to cell culture compositions comprising the MDCK cells and cultivation methods for growing the MDCK cells. The present invention further relates to methods for producing influenza viruses in cell culture using the MDCK cells of the invention.
