  • Patent number: 5268292
    Abstract: The invention is a process for cell propagation of hepatitis A virus. The process involves purifying a culture of hepatitis A virus particles. These hepatitis A virus particles are used for infecting cells being cultivated in a media. The hepatitis A particles suitable for use in this invention must have a cytopathic effect in the infected host cells that are selected for culturing the hepatitis A virus. After developing the cytopathic effect in the infected cells, the hepatitis A viruses produce degeneration and lysis in the infected cells and are released into the media. Isolation of the released hepatitis A virus then occurs. The preferred cells for use in this invention are FRhK4 (foetal rhesus monkey kidney) cells. The preferred virus particles for use in this invention are hepatitis A, strain HAS-15 particles have an antigen coded by a nucleotide sequence according to FIG. 1.
