The invention discloses a method for removing host
DNA in a
rabies vaccine. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly selecting Vero cells with
clear cell boundaries and few senile cells in a production process, carrying out subculture after
cell counting, adjusting to the required
cell density, then carrying out
virus inoculation, and harvesting a
virus solution about 6 days after
virus inoculation; on the basis, uniformly mixing the virus solution with EDTA, then carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion, wherein EDTA is used as a
metal chelating agent and can chelate
divalent cations to disperse
DNA; then carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion and high-pressure homogenization treatment on the basis of the step, wherein
ultrasonic dispersion and high-pressure homogenization treatment are combined with each other to shear the host
DNA, so that a host DNA chain is broken and broken, and the removal efficiency of the subsequent residual host DNA is improved. According to the scheme, magnetic
silicon dioxide is introduced, separation of the magnetic
silicon dioxide and the vaccine can be realized through an external
magnetic field, the residual DNA is adsorbed in the process for purification, new impurities do not need to be introduced, the quality of the vaccine is greatly improved, and the practicability is higher.
