Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the response was not fast enough as substantial vaccine quantities were available only after the second pandemic wave had peaked.
This delay was at least partially due to the late availability of a high-yielding influenza strain which could be used for vaccine production.
As the 2009 experience has shown, the traditional methods for re

Embodiment Construction

[0007]In some aspects, the invention provides methods which allow a faster preparation of influenza viruses. For example, the invention provides a method of preparing an influenza virus, comprising the steps of (a) preparing one or more expression construct(s) which comprise(s) coding sequences for expressing at least one segment of an influenza virus genome; (b) introducing into a cell which is not 293T one or more expression construct(s) which encode(s) the viral segments of an influenza virus, wherein at least one expression construct is the expression construct prepared in step (a); and (c) culturing the cell in order to produce a reassortant influenza virus from the expression construct(s) introduced in step (b); wherein steps (a) to (c) are performed in a time period of 124 hours or less. The cell is preferably a non-human cell or a human non-kidney cell.

[0008]Also provided is a method of preparing an influenza virus comprising the steps of (a) preparing one or more expression...

Description

STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT[0001]This invention was supported in part with Government support under BARDA Contract No. HHSO10020100061C awarded by Office of Public Health Emergency Preparedness, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. The Government has certain rights in the invention.[0002]The influenza virus sequence database used for UTR construction and the generation of a library of synthetic gene segments was funded in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services under Contract No. HHSN272200900007C.TECHNICAL FIELD[0003]This invention is in the field of influenza virus reassortment. Furthermore, it relates to manufacturing vaccines for protecting against influenza viruses.BACKGROUND ART[0004]The 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic response was the fastest global vaccine development effort in history. Within six months of the pandemic declaration, vaccine companies had deve...
