We designed small-scale virus filtration models to investigate the impact of the extended process times and dynamic product streams present in continuous manufacturing. Our data show that the Planova 20N and BioEX virus filters are capable of effectively removing bacteriophage PP7 (>4 log) when run continuously for up to 4 days. Additionally, both Planova 20N and BioEX filters were able to successfully process a mock elution peak of increased protein, salt, and bacteriophage concentrations with only an increase in filtration pressure observed during the higher protein concentration peak. These experiments demonstrated that small-scale viral clearance studies can be designed to model a continuous virus filtration step with specific process parameters. 相似文献

Virus filtration provides robust removal of potential viral contaminants and is a critical step during the manufacture of biotherapeutic products. However, recent studies have shown that small virus removal can be impacted by low operating pressure and depressurization. To better understand the impact of these conditions and to define robust virus filtration design spaces, we conducted multivariate analyses to evaluate parvovirus removal over wide ranges of operating pressure, solution pH, and conductivity for three mAb products on Planova? BioEX and 20N filters. Pressure ranges from 0.69 to 3.43 bar (10.0–49.7 psi) for Planova BioEX filters and from 0.50 to 1.10 bar (7.3 to 16.0 psi) for Planova 20N filters were identified as ranges over which effective removal of parvovirus is achieved for different products over wide ranges of pH and conductivity. Viral clearance at operating pressure below the robust pressure range suggests that effective parvovirus removal can be achieved at low pressure but that Minute virus of mice (MVM) logarithmic reduction value (LRV) results may be impacted by product and solution conditions. These results establish robust design spaces for Planova BioEX and 20N filters where high parvovirus clearance can be expected for most antibody products and provide further understanding of viral clearance mechanisms. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

The capacity to remove viruses by Planova filters produced by Asahi Kasei, primarily by small virus-retentive filters, were compiled from data in peer-reviewed publications and, partly, publicly available data from presentations at conferences (Planova workshops). Data from more than 100 publications and presentations at conferences covering Planova filters were assessed. The data were grouped according to the different virus filters regarding mean pore sizes and viruses of different sizes for plasma and cell culture derived products. Planova 15N and 20N filters removed parvoviruses below the limit of detection of viruses in the filtrate in approx. 50% of all studies and mean LRFs (log reduction factors) for viruses detected in the filtrate were above 4, demonstrating effective parvovirus reduction. Parvovirus removal capacity increased for Planova BioEX filters as well as for 2 Planova 20N in series. Large viruses as retroviruses (e.g., HIV and MuLV), herpesviruses, flaviviruses and togaviruses were removed effectively by Planova 15N, 20N and BioEX filters and also by Planova 35N filters. Flow interruption, transmembrane pressure, volume and protein concentration per filter area had had no substantial impact on virus removal capacity at manufacturing specification. In conclusion, the incorporation of Planova filters in manufacturing processes of biologicals remove, depending on the filter pore size, small and large viruses from the feed stream reliably. This virus reduction step with an orthogonal mechanism integrated in the manufacturing processes of biologicals, based primarily on size exclusion of viruses, improves the virus safety of these biopharmaceutical products considerably. 相似文献

Virus filtration with nanometer size exclusion membranes (“nanofiltration”) is effective for removing infectious agents from biopharmaceuticals. While the virus removal capability of virus removal filters is typically evaluated based on calculation of logarithmic reduction value (LRV) of virus infectivity, knowledge of the exact mechanism(s) of virus retention remains limited. Here, human parvovirus B19 (B19V), a small virus (18–26 nm), was spiked into therapeutic plasma protein solutions and filtered through Planova™ 15N and 20N filters in scaled-down manufacturing processes. Observation of the gross structure of the Planova hollow fiber membranes by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed Planova filter microporous membranes to have a rough inner, a dense middle and a rough outer layer. Of these three layers, the dense middle layer was clearly identified as the most functionally critical for effective capture of B19V. Planova filtration of protein solution containing B19V resulted in a distribution peak in the dense middle layer with an LRV >4, demonstrating effectiveness of the filtration step. This is the first report to simultaneously analyze the gross structure of a virus removal filter and visualize virus entrapment during a filtration process conducted under actual manufacturing conditions. The methodologies developed in this study demonstrate that the virus removal capability of the filtration process can be linked to the gross physical filter structure, contributing to better understanding of virus trapping mechanisms and helping the development of more reliable and robust virus filtration processes in the manufacture of biologicals. 相似文献

During the manufacture of human plasma derivatives, a series of complementary measures are undertaken to prevent transmission of blood-borne viruses. Virus filtration using 15 nm (Planova15N) filters has successfully been implemented in manufacturing processes for various plasma derivatives primarily because virus filtration is a technique, mild for proteins, that can effectively remove even small non-lipid-enveloped viruses, such as HAV and parvovirus B19. However, the use of 15 nm filters has limitations with regard to protein capacity of the filters and the process flow, resulting in an expensive manufacturing step. Therefore, studies were performed to test whether the use of 20 nm (Planova20N) filters, having different characteristics compared to 15 nm filters, can be an alternative for the use of 15 nm filters.It is shown that 20 nm filtration can be an alternative for 15 nm filtration. However, the virus removal capacity of the 20 nm filters depends on the plasma product that is filtered. Therefore, an optimisation study must be performed with regard to process parameters such as pressure, pH and protein concentration for each plasma product. In this study, using optimised conditions, the virus removal capacity of 20 nm filters appears to be comparable or even better when compared to that of 15 nm filters. 相似文献

Viral filtration is routinely incorporated into the downstream purification processes for the production of biologics produced in mammalian cell cultures (MCC) to remove potential viral contaminants. In recent years, the use of retentive filters designed for retaining parvovirus (~20 nm) has become an industry standard in a conscious effort to further improve product safety. Since retentive filters remove viruses primarily by the size exclusion mechanism, it is expected that filters designed for parvovirus removal can effectively clear larger viruses such as retroviruses (~100 nm). In an attempt to reduce the number of viral clearance studies, we have taken a novel approach to demonstrate the feasibility of claiming modular retrovirus clearance for Asahi Planova 20N filters. Porcine parvovirus (PPV) and xenotropic murine leukemia virus (XMuLV) were co‐spiked into six different feedstreams and then subjected to laboratory scale Planova 20N filtration. Our results indicate that Planova 20N filters consistently retain retroviruses and no retrovirus has ever been detected in the filtrates even when significant PPV breakthrough is observed. Based on the data from multiple in‐house viral validation studies and the results from the co‐spiking experiments, we have successfully claimed a modular retrovirus clearance of greater than 6 log10 reduction factors (LRF) to support clinical trial applications in both USA and Europe. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

As a possible method for reducing the risk of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) infection, Planova virus removal filters were tested for their ability to remove scrapie agent ME7. Albumin solution was spiked with high-titre ME7 and filtered through three different pore sizes of Planova filters. Infectivity of the pre- and post-filtration samples was assayed in log dilutions by intracerebral inoculation into C57B1/6 mice. Filtration of albumin solution in the absence or presence of a detergent (Sarkosyl) with Planova 35N (35+/-2 nm mean pore size) removed the contaminating scrapie agent with reduction factors of 4.93 log10 and 1.61 log10, respectively. Filtration, both in the absence and presence of detergent with Planova 15N (15+/-2 nm mean pore size), and in the presence of detergent with Planova 10N (9+/-2 nm mean pore size), showed high levels of scrapie reduction of >5.87 log10, >4.21 log10, and >3.80 log10, respectively, with no residual infectively detected in any of the filtrate samples. The effectiveness of Planova 35N filtration for the removal of infectivity of this TSE agent is greatly reduced in the presence of a strong detergent, but Planova filters with 15 nm or smaller pore size membranes can remove such infectivity at high reduction rates. 相似文献

We aimed to investigate the effect of virus‐spiking conditions on the filter performance (flux, flux decay, and parvovirus reduction) of the small virus filter Planova? 20N. We used three kinds of porcine parvovirus (PPV) stocks: serum, serum‐free, and purified. The flux profile with PPV spiking was similar to that without spiking for normal load filtration of about 250–300 L/m2. High volume (3 vol %) of serum‐free PPV and 1 vol % serum PPV reduced the flux to some extent for high‐load filtration (over 10 h, ca., 500 L/m2, 5 mg/mL IgG solution). Log reduction value (LRV) of PPV was maintained at a high level (>5) over the filtration volume. Flux for Planova? 20N was only minimally affected by the use of different virus stocks for spiking. Transmission electron microphotography showed that the distribution of PPV particles captured inside the membrane wall was reached until the ?60% thickness of the membrane, showing that the membrane of Planova? 20N has a thick effective layer for virus removal. These results provided evidence for the robustness of the filter performance of Planova? 20N, showing that it was not easily affected by virus spiking conditions and that it has a large capacity for high‐load conditions. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Virus filtration is a robust size-based technique that can provide the high level of viral clearance required for the production of mammalian-derived biotherapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies. Several studies have shown that the retention characteristics of some, but not all, virus filters can be significantly affected by membrane fouling, but there have been no direct measurements of how protein fouling might alter the location of virus capture within these membranes. The objective of this study was to directly examine the effect of protein fouling by human immunoglobulin G (IgG) on virus capture within the Viresolve® Pro and Viresolve® NFP membranes by scanning electron microscopy using different size gold nanoparticles. IgG fouling shifted the capture location of 20 nm gold nanoparticles further upstream within the Viresolve® Pro filter due to the constriction and/or blockage of the pores in the virus retentive region of the filter. In contrast, IgG fouling had no measurable effect on the capture of 20 nm nanoparticles in the Viresolve® NFP membrane, and IgG fouling had no effect on the capture of larger 40 and 100 nm nanoparticles in either membrane. These results provide important insights into how protein fouling alters the virus retention characteristics of different virus filters. 相似文献

Virus removal from a high purity factor IX, Replenine®-VF, by filtration using a Planova 15N filter has been investigated. A wide range of relevant and model enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, of various sizes, were effectively removed by this procedure. Virus removal was confirmed to be effective when different batches of filter were challenged with poliovirus-1. It was confirmed that intentionally modified filters that failed the leakage test had completely lost the ability to remove virus, thus confirming that this test demonstrates gross filter failure. In the case of the more sensitive integrity test based on gold particle removal, it was found that a pre-wash step was not essential. Planova filters that had been modified by sodium hydroxide treatment to make them more permeable, and filters manufactured with varying pore-sizes over the range of 15–35 nm, were tested. The integrity test value that resulted in the removal of >4 log10 of poliovirus-1 from the product correlated with that recommended by the filter manufacturer. Virus removal from the product was not influenced by filter load mass, flow-rate or pressure. These studies confirm the robustness of this filtration procedure and allow suitable process limits to be set for this manufacturing step. 相似文献

Viral safety is an important prerequisite for clinical immunoglobulin preparations. A common manufacturing practice is to utilize several virus removal/inactivation process steps to ensure the safety of human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). In this regard, we examined the use of Planova 35 nm filters to reduce potential loads of both non-enveloped and enveloped viruses prior to end-stage solvent detergent treatment. The nanofiltration process was validated for removal of a variety of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses ranging in size from 70 nm to 18 nm including: Sindbis virus, Simian Virus 40 (SV40), Bovine Viral Diarrhoea virus (BVDV), Feline Calicivirus, Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMC), Hepatitis A virus (HAV), Bovine Parvovirus (BPV) and Porcine Parvovirus (PPV). The filtration procedure was carried out by first spiking a 7% solution of IVIg with < 10(8) virus. The spiked IVIg solution was then filtered through a 75 nm Planova filter followed by two Planova 35 nm filters in series (75/35/35). The 75 nm prefilter is incorporated into this process to increase the capacity of the 35 nm viral removal filters. As a result of the inclusion of the 75 nm pre-filtration step it was possible to assess the removal of virus by the 35 nm filters independent of possible aggregation of the initial viral spiking material. Samples were collected at each step and immediately titred by viral plaque assay. A process control sample of the spiked load solution was held at the same conditions for the duration of the filtration process and then titred to determine the extent to which antibody neutralization may have contributed to overall viral reduction. Control assays of spiked IVIg were performed to establish the degree of toxicity of the IVIg solution to the indicator cell lines and the extent to which the IVIg interfered with plaque formation in the assay system. This combined data was used to establish assay sensitivity for the calculation of log removal by the filtration process. It was noted that toxicity/interference effects could have a significant effect upon apparent log reductions, and these effects could vary greatly, even within viruses of the same family. The results of these studies indicate that 35 nm filtration is very effective for removing substantial quantities of both non-enveloped and enveloped viruses from IVIg. Complete clearance (to the limits of detection of the assay) was obtained for all viruses larger than 35 nm. Interestingly, viruses reported to have mean diameters of less than 35 nm (EMC and HAV) were at least partially removed by the filtration (4.3 and > 4.7 logs removal, respectively). Even small viruses such as PPV were to some extent removed from the IVIg solution by the filters (2.6 logs removal). Reduction of BPV would not be assessed due to extensive neutralization and interference with plaque formation by the IVIg. Sindbis and SV40 also were subject to neutralization and assay interference due to the IVIg, though to a lesser extent. We conclude from these studies that the 35 nm mean pore size is functionally efficient in removal of smaller size viruses from spiked IVIg concentrates. 相似文献

Parvovirus retentive filters that assure removal of viruses and virus‐like particles during the production of therapeutic proteins significantly contribute to total manufacturing costs. Operational approaches that can increase throughput and reduce filtration area would result in a significant cost savings. A combination of methods was used to achieve high throughputs of an antibody or therapeutic protein solution through three parvovirus retentive filters. These methods included evaluation of diatomaceous earth or size‐based prefilters, the addition of additives, and the optimization of protein concentration, temperature, buffer composition, and solution pH. An optimum temperature of 35°C was found for maximizing throughput through the Virosart CPV and Viresolve Pro filters. Mass‐throughput values of 7.3, 26.4, and 76.2 kg/m2 were achieved through the Asahi Planova 20N, Virosart CPV, and Viresolve Pro filters, respectively, in 4 h of processing. Mass‐throughput values of 73, 137, and 192 kg/m2 were achieved through a Millipore Viresolve Pro filter in 4.0, 8.8, and 22.1 h of processing, respectively, during a single experiment. However, large‐scale parvovirus filtration operations are typically controlled to limit volumetric throughput to below the level achieved during small‐scale virus spiking experiments. The virus spike may cause significant filter plugging, limiting throughput. Therefore newer parvovirus filter spiking strategies should be adopted that may lead to more representative viral clearance data and higher utilization of large‐scale filter capacity. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

We investigated the effect of antibody solution conditions (ionic strength, pH, IgG concentration, buffer composition, and aggregate level (dimer content)) on filter performance for a virus removal filtration process using the Planova? 20N, a virus removal filter. Ionic strength and pH affected the filter flux. A consistent high flux was maintained at an ionic strength greater than 10 mM and at pH 4–8 under a typical buffer composition (sodium chloride, citrate, acetate, and phosphate). Optimum IgG concentration was 10–20 mg/mL allowing for high throughput (kg/m2 of IgG). Dimer content negligibly affected the flux level. Under high throughput conditions, virus spiking did not affect flux whereas a parvovirus logarithmic reduction value greater than 5 was maintained. From the results of zeta potential analyses for IgG and the membrane, we considered that electrostatic interactions between antibodies and the membrane affect filter performance (flux level and throughput). These results indicate that the Planova? 20N filter is applicable for a wide range of solution conditions typically used in antibody processing. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Controlling viral contamination is an important issue in the process development of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced from mammalian cell lines. Virus filtration (VF) has been demonstrated to be a robust and effective clearance step which can provide ≥4 logs of reduction via size exclusion. The minimization of VF area by increasing flux and filter loading is critical to achieving cost targets as VFs are single use and often represent up to 10% of total purification costs. The research presented in this publication describes a development strategy focused on biophysical attributes of product streams that are directly applicable to VF process performance. This article summarizes a case study where biophysical tools (high‐pressure size exclusion chromatography, dynamic light scattering, and absolute size exclusion chromatography) were applied to a specific MAb program to illustrate how changes in feed composition (pH, sodium chloride concentration, and buffer salt type) can change biophysical properties which correlate with VF performance. The approach was subsequently refined and expanded over the course of development of three MAbs where performance metrics (i.e., loading and flux) were evaluated for two specific virus filters (Viresolve Pro and Planova 20N) during both unspiked control runs and virus clearance experiments. The analyses of feed attributes can be applied to a decision tree to guide the recommendation of a VF filter and operating conditions for use in future MAb program development. The understanding of the biophysical properties of the feed can be correlated to virus filter performance to significantly reduce the mass of product, time, and costs associated with virus filter step development. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Virus filtration (VF) is a key step in an overall viral clearance process since it has been demonstrated to effectively clear a wide range of mammalian viruses with a log reduction value (LRV) > 4. The potential to achieve higher LRV from virus retentive filters has historically been examined using bacteriophage surrogates, which commonly demonstrated a potential of > 9 LRV when using high titer spikes (e.g. 1010 PFU/mL). However, as the filter loading increases, one typically experiences significant decreases in performance and LRV. The 9 LRV value is markedly higher than the current expected range of 4‐5 LRV when utilizing mammalian retroviruses on virus removal filters (Miesegaes et al., Dev Biol (Basel) 2010;133:3‐101). Recent values have been reported in the literature (Stuckey et al., Biotech Progr 2014;30:79‐85) of LRV in excess of 6 for PPV and XMuLV although this result appears to be atypical. LRV for VF with therapeutic proteins could be limited by several factors including process limits (flux decay, load matrix), virus spike level and the analytical methods used for virus detection (i.e. the Limits of Quantitation), as well as the virus spike quality. Research was conducted using the Xenotropic‐Murine Leukemia Virus (XMuLV) for its direct relevance to the most commonly cited document, the International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) Q5A (International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, Geneva, Switzerland, 1999) for viral safety evaluations. A unique aspect of this work is the independent evaluation of the impact of retrovirus quality and virus spike level on VF performance and LRV. The VF studies used XMuLV preparations purified by either ultracentrifugation (Ultra 1) or by chromatographic processes that yielded a more highly purified virus stock (Ultra 2). Two monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) with markedly different filtration characteristics and with similar levels of aggregate (<1.5%) were evaluated with the Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 virus preparations utilizing the Planova 20 N, a small virus removal filter. Impurities in the virus preparation ultimately limited filter loading as measured by determining the volumetric loading condition where 75% flux decay is observed versus initial conditions (V75). This observation occurred with both Mabs with the difference in virus purity more pronounced when very high spike levels were used (>5 vol/vol %). Significant differences were seen for the process performance over a number of lots of the less‐pure Ultra 1 virus preparations. Experiments utilizing a developmental lot of the chromatographic purified XMuLV (Ultra 2 Development lot) that had elevated levels of host cell residuals (vs. the final Ultra 2 preparations) suggest that these contaminant residuals can impact virus filter fouling, even if the virus prep is essentially monodisperse. Process studies utilizing an Ultra 2 virus with substantially less host cell residuals and highly monodispersed virus particles demonstrated superior performance and an LRV in excess of 7.7 log10. A model was constructed demonstrating the linear dependence of filtration flux versus filter loading which can be used to predict the V75 for a range of virus spike levels conditions using this highly purified virus. Fine tuning the virus spike level with this model can ultimately maximize the LRV for the virus filter step, essentially adding the LRV equivalent of another process step (i.e. protein A or CEX chromatography). © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a promising tool for rapid and noninvasive biodiversity monitoring. eDNA density is low in environmental samples, and a capture method, such as filtration, is often required to concentrate eDNA for downstream analyses. In this study, six treatments, with differing filter types and pore sizes for eDNA capture, were compared for their efficiency and accuracy to assess fish community structure with known fish abundance and biomass via eDNA metabarcoding. Our results showed that different filters (with the exception of 20‐μm large‐pore filters) were broadly consistent in their DNA capture ability. The 0.45‐μm filters performed the best in terms of total DNA yield, probability of species detection, repeatability within pond and consistency between ponds. However performance of 0.45‐μm filters was only marginally better than for 0.8‐μm filters, while filtration time was significantly longer. Given this trade‐off, the 0.8‐μm filter is the optimal pore size of membrane filter for turbid, eutrophic and high fish density ponds analysed here. The 0.45‐μm Sterivex enclosed filters performed reasonably well and are suitable in situations where on‐site filtration is required. Finally, prefilters are applied only if absolutely essential for reducing the filtration time or increasing the throughput volume of the capture filters. In summary, we found encouraging similarity in the results obtained from different filtration methods, but the optimal pore size of filter or filter type might strongly depend on the water type under study. 相似文献

Cell-based manufacturing processes have occasionally been exposed to adventitious viruses, leading to manufacturing interruptions and unstable supply situations. The rapid progress of advanced therapy medicinal products needs innovative approaches to avoid any unwelcome reminder of the universal presence of viruses. Here, we investigated upstream virus filtration as a clearance step for any product too complex for downstream interventions. Culture media virus filtration was investigated with respect to virus clearance capacities under extreme conditions such as high process feed loading (up to ~19,000 L/m²), long duration (up to 34 days), and multiple process interruptions (up to 21 h). The small nonenveloped Minute virus of mice was used as relevant target virus, and as worse-case challenge for the investigated virus filters with a stipulated pore-size of about 20 nm. Certain filters—especially of the newer second generation—were capable of effective virus clearance despite the harsh regimen they were subjected to. The biochemical parameters for un-spiked control runs showed the filters to have no measurable impact on the composition of the culture media. Based on these findings, this technology seems to be quite feasible for large volume premanufacturing process culture media preparations. 相似文献

Several recent studies have reported a decline in virus retention during virus challenge filtration experiments, although the mechanism(s) governing this phenomenon for different filters remains uncertain. Experiments were performed to evaluate the retention of PP7 and PR772 bacteriophage through Ultipor VF Grade DV20 virus filters during constant pressure filtration. While the larger PR772 phage was fully retained under all conditions, a 2‐log decline in retention of the small PP7 phage was observed at high throughputs, even under conditions where there was no decline in filtrate flux. In addition, prefouling the membrane with an immunoglobulin G solution had no effect on phage retention. An internal polarization model was developed to describe the decline in phage retention arising from the accumulation of phage in the upper (reservoir) layer within the filter which increases the challenge to the lower (rejection) layer. Independent support for this internal polarization phenomenon was provided by confocal microscopy of fluorescently labeled phage within the membrane. The model was in good agreement with phage retention data over a wide range of phage titers, confirming that virus retention is throughput dependent and supporting current recommendations for virus retention validation studies. These results provide important insights into the factors governing virus retention by membrane filters and their dependence on the underlying structure of the virus filter membrane. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Viral contamination is an inherent risk during the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. As such, biopharmaceutical companies must demonstrate the viral clearance efficacy of their downstream process steps prior to clinical trials and commercial approval. This is accomplished through expensive and logistically challenging spiking studies, which utilize live mammalian viruses. These hurdles deter companies from analyzing viral clearance during process development and characterization. We utilized a noninfectious minute virus of mice-mock virus particle (MVM-MVP) as a surrogate spiking agent during small scale viral filtration (VF) and anion exchange chromatography (AEX) studies. For VF experiments, in-process mAb material was spiked and processed through Asahi Kasei P15, P20, P35, and BioEX nanofilters. Across each filter type, flux decay profiles and log reduction values (LRVs) were nearly identical for either particle. For AEX experiments, loads were conditioned with various amounts of sodium chloride (9, 20, 23, and 41 mS/cm), spiked with either particle and processed through a Q-SFF packed column. LRV results met our expectations of predicting MVM removal. 相似文献

Background aimsPlatelet concentrates (PCs) are pooled to prepare human platelet lysate (HPL) supplements of growth media to expand primary human cells for transplantation; this increases the risk of contamination by known, emerging, and unknown viruses. This possibility should be of concern because viral contamination of cell cultures is difficult to detect and may have detrimental consequences for recipients of cell therapies. Viral reduction treatments of chemically defined growth media have been proposed, but they are not applicable when media contain protein supplements currently needed to expand primary cell cultures. Recently, we successfully developed a Planova 35NPlanova 20N nanofiltration sequence of growth media supplemented with two types of HPL. The nanofiltered medium was found to be suitable for mesenchymal Stromal cell (MSC) expansion.MethodsHerein, we report viral clearance achieved by this nanofiltration process used for assessing a new experimental model using non-infectious minute virus of mice-mock virus particle (MVM-MVP) and its quantification by an immunoqPCR. Then, high doses of MVM-MVP (1012 MVPs/mL) were spiked to obtain a final concentration of 1010 MVPs/mL in Planova 35N-nanofiltered growth medium supplemented with both types of HPLs [serum converted platelet lysate SCPL) and intercept human platelet lysate (I-HPL)] at 10% (v/v) and then filtering through Planova 20N.ResultsNo substantial interference of growth medium matrices by the immune-qPCR assay was first verified. Log reduction values (LRVs) were ≥ 5.43 and ≥ 5.36 respectively, SCPL and I-HPL media. MVM-MVPs were also undetectable by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy.ConclusionsThe nanofiltration of growth media supplemented with 10% HPL provides robust removal of small nonenveloped viruses, and is an option to improve the safety of therapeutic cells expanded using HPL supplements. 相似文献
