Embodiment 1

[0072] Example 1 describes the derivation of clone MDCK.5F1. Example 2 concerns the purity of the MDCK.5F1 cell line. Example 3 describes the growth of influenza virus on the MDCK.5F1 cell line with and without trypsin. Example 4 is a summary of studies on tumorigenicity of MDCK.5F1. Example 5 discusses the results following inoculation of athymic nude mice with a suspension of MDCK.5F1 cells. Example 6 describes step by step a specific embodiment of the method. Example 7 describes the results of tests performed using parental MDCK cells and influenza strain A / Shanghai / 11 / 87 and trypsin. Example 8 describes the results of tests performed using MDCK.5F1 cells and influenza strain A / Shanghai / 11 / 87 but without trypsin. Example 9 describes the results of tests performed using MDCK.5F1 cells and influenza strain B / Harbin / 7 / 94 but without trypsin.

Embodiment 2

[0090] Determination of MDCK.5F1 clonality

[0091] The parameter that determines the clonality of any particular clone picked is the percent growth on the multiwell plate on which said clone was picked. From this percentage the probability that the selected culture is actually pure (ie, P(l)) is determined (see Coller and Coller, Methods in Enzymology, vol. 121, pp. 412-417 (Academic Press, 1986).).

[0092] Since 5% of the wells showed growth in this clone, the probability that the cell line MDCK.5F1 was derived from a single cell was > 97.5%.

[0093] 299 ampoules of the Master Cell Bank (MCB) and 283 ampoules of the Manufacturer's Working Cell Bank (WCB) were prepared from the MDCK.5F1 cell line. These banks were prepared in accordance with the Canadian Principles of Practice Guidelines for Food Manufacturing and evaluated for contamination with fungal, yeast, mycoplasma, bacterial and viral agents. No contamination of any kind was found.

[0096] Experiments illustrating the growth of influenza virus in the MDCK.5F1 clone with and without the addition of trypsin

[0097] Experiments were performed to determine the ability of influenza virus to propagate in cultures of clone MDCK.5F1 in the presence or absence of trypsin. The results for the three influenza virus strains A / Johannesburg, A / Texas and B / Harbin are shown in Table 2.

[0098] Table 2: MDCK.5F1 clone cultures with and without trypsin

[0099] Growth of different influenza strains in

[0100] acquired infection

[0101] These results revealed that there was no substantial difference when influenza virus was replicated in cell culture with and without trypsin, as indicated by hemagglutination (HA) titer values.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a commercial-scale process for the production of influenza virus or antigens for prophylactic, diagnostic, immunotherapeutic or therapeutic purposes. Particularly, the invention provides a Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK)-derived, cell line and a cell culture-based process for the production of an influenza vaccine and more particularly, a human vaccine comprising influenza types A and B.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application 60 / 572,612, filed May 20, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference. field of invention [0002] The present invention generally relates to a process on an industrial scale for the production of influenza viruses or antigens for prophylactic, diagnostic, immunotherapeutic or therapeutic purposes. In particular, the present invention provides a vaccine derived from Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) for use in the production of influenza vaccines and more particularly in the production of human vaccines containing influenza types A and B, Cell culture based methods. Background of the invention [0003] Traditionally, commercial influenza vaccines have been produced by growing vaccine virus strains in embryonated eggs. The virus is collected from the allantoic fluid and processed to make a vaccine. However, this method has the disadvantages of being labor intensive and low yield per egg, factors tha...
