Modeling and optimization of the baculovirus expression vector system in batch suspension culture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Power JF Reid S Radford KM Greenfield PF Nielsen LK 《Biotechnology and bioengineering》1994,44(6):710-719
A mathematical model has been developed that predicts the cell population dynamics and production of recombinant protein and infective extracellular virus progeny by insect cells after infection with baculovirus in batch suspension culture. Infection in the model is based on the rate of virus attachment to suspended insect cells under culture conditions. The model links the events following infection with the sequence of gene expression in the baculovirus replicative cycle. Substrate depletion is used to account for the decrease in product yield observed when infecting at high cell densities. Model parameters were determined in shaker flasks for two media: serum-supplemented IPL-41 medium and serum free Sf900II medium. There was good agreement between model predictions and the results from an independent series of experiments performed to validate the mode. The model predicted: (1) the optimal time of infection at high multiplicity of infection: (2) the timing and magnitude of recombinant protein production in a 2-L bioreactor; and (3) the timing and magnitude of recombinant protein production at multiplicities of infection from 0.01 to 100 plaque-forming units per cell. Through its ability to predict optimal infection strategies in batch suspension culture, the model has use in the design and optimization of large-scale systems for the production of recombinant products using the baculovirus expression vector system.

Human interleukin-2 production in insect (Trichoplusia ni) larvae: effects and partial control of proteolysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Many eukaryotic proteins have been successfully expressed in insect cells infected with a baculovirus in which the foreign gene has been placed under the control of a viral promoter. This system can be costly at large scale due to the quality of virus stock, problems of oxygen transfer, and severity of large-scale contamination. To circumvent this problem, we have investigated the expression of a foreign protein, human interleukin-2 (IL-2), in insect larvae, Trichoplusia ni, infected with the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV). The IL-2 gene was placed under control of the p10 promoter so that the polyhedra remained intact for efficient primary infection. From our results, it was clear that early infection limited larval growth and late infection delayed product production until near pupation, hence infection timing was important. Also, the harvest time was crucial for obtaining high yield, because IL-2 production had a sharp optimal peak with a time of occurrence dependent on both temperature and the initial amount of infection virus. Specifically, we found that, by raising the infection temperature to 30 degrees C, we more than doubled the protein productivity. Furthermore, a significant concern of the larvae/baculovirus expression system has been the large amount of protease produced by the larvae, which adversely affects the protein yield. Therefore, we screened several protease inhibitors and characterized the larval protease specificity and timing to attenuate their impact. This report elucidates and delineates the factors that most directly impact protein yield in the larvae expression system, using IL-2 as a model. 相似文献

Infection of Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) strains on barley results in dwarf disease, imposing severe economic losses on crop production. As the natural resistance resources against this virus are limited, it is imperative to elaborate a biotechnological approach that will provide effective and safe immunity to a wide range of WDV strains. Because vector insect‐mediated WDV infection occurs during cool periods in nature, it is important to identify a technology which is effective at lower temperature. In this study, we designed artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) using a barley miRNA precursor backbone, which target different conservative sequence elements of the WDV strains. Potential amiRNA sequences were selected to minimize the off‐target effects and were tested in a transient sensor system in order to select the most effective constructs at low temperature. On the basis of the data obtained, a polycistronic amiRNA precursor construct (VirusBuster171) was built expressing three amiRNAs simultaneously. The construct was transformed into barley under the control of a constitutive promoter. The transgenic lines were kept at 12–15 °C to mimic autumn and spring conditions in which major WDV infection and accumulation take place. We were able to establish a stable barley transgenic line displaying resistance to insect‐mediated WDV infection. Our study demonstrates that amiRNA technology can be an efficient tool for the introduction of highly efficient resistance in barley against a DNA virus belonging to the Geminiviridae family, and this resistance is effective at low temperature where the natural insect vector mediates the infection process. 相似文献

Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) in host insect cells is a powerful technology to produce recombinant proteins, as well as virus-like particles (VLP). However, BEVS is based on baculovirus infection, which limits the recombinant protein production by inducing insect cell death. Herein a new strategy to enhance cell life span and to increase recombinant protein production was developed. As baculovirus infection induces cellular oxidative stress, the ability of several antioxidants to inhibit cell death was tested during infection. The production of rotavirus structural proteins was used as model to analyse this new strategy. We found that only catalase is able to partially prevent cell death triggered by baculovirus infection and to inhibit lipid peroxidation. An increase in recombinant protein production was coupled with the partial cell death inhibition. In summary, the addition of catalase is a promising strategy to improve recombinant protein production in BEVS, by delaying insect cell death. 相似文献

Recombinant human parvovirus B19 virus-like particles (VLPs), a candidate vaccine, were produced using the insect cell (Sf-9)-baculovirus (AcNPV) expression system. The synthesis and assembly of the particles in Sf-9 cells are directed by double infections with one recombinant virus (bacVP1) expressing the parvovirus minor viral protein VP1 and a second virus (bacVP2) expressing the major viral protein VP2. Previous animal studies demonstrated that the polypeptide composition of the VLPs strongly affects the elicitation of virus neutralizing antibodies. The key factor controlling the production of an immunologically potent product in bioreactors was identified to be the multiplicity of infection (MOI) of bacVP1 and bacVP2 used for infection. A probabilistic model, which correlates well with the experimental results, was employed to facilitate the selection of MOIs and to provide a better understanding of the baculovirus co-infection process. A novel production process based on secondary infections was developed to ensure product consistency and to simplify large-scale logistics. The effects of other critical process parameters, such as temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, lactate concentration, cell concentration at infection, and harvest time, were also investigated.

Low multiplicity infection of insect cells with a recombinant baculovirus: The cell yield concept 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In vitro infection of insect cells with baculoviruses is increasingly considered a viable means for the production of biopesticides, recombinant veterinary vaccines, and other recombinant products. Batch fermentation processes traditionally employ intermediate to high multiplicities of infection necessitating two parallel scale-up processes-one for cells and one for virus. In this study, we consider the use of multiplicities of infection as low as 0.0001 plaque-forming units per cell, a virus level low enough to enable infection of even large reactors (e.g., 10 m(3)) directly from a frozen stock. Using low multiplicities in the Sf9/beta-gal-AcNPV system, recombinant protein titers comparable with the maximum titer observed in high multiplicity infections were achieved. Cultures yielding the maximum titer were characterized by reaching a maximum cell density between 3 and 4 x 10(9) cell L(-1). This optimal cell yield did not depend on the multiplicity of infection, supporting the existing view that batch cultures are limited by availability of substrate. Up to a certain cell density, product titer will increase almost linearly with availability of biocatalyst, that is, cells. Beyond this point any further cell formation comes at the expense of final product titer. Low multiplicity infections were found not to cause any significant dispersion of the protein production process. Hence, product stability is not a major issue of concern using low multiplicities of infection. The sensitivity to initial conditions and disturbances, however, remains an issue of concern for the commercial use of low multiplicity infections. (c) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Parameters that affect production of the recombinant reporter protein, EGFP, in the T7 promoter based VOTE vaccinia virus-HeLa cell expression system were examined. Length of infection phase, inducer concentration, and timing of its addition relative to infection were evaluated in 6-well plate monolayer cultures. One hour infection with 1.0 mM IPTG added at the time of infection provided a robust process. For larger scale experiments, anchorage-dependent HeLa cells were grown on 5 g/L Cytodex 3 microcarriers. The change to this dynamic culture environment, with cell-covered microcarriers suspended in culture medium in spinner flasks, suggested a re-examination of the multiplicity of infection (MOI) for this culture type that indicated a need for an increase in the number of virus particles per cell to 5.0, higher than that needed for complete infection in monolayer tissue flask culture. Additionally, dissolved oxygen level and temperature during the protein production phase were evaluated for their effect on EGFP expression in microcarrier spinner flask culture. Both increased dissolved oxygen, based on surface area to volume (SA/V) adjustments, and decreased temperature from 37 to 31 degrees C showed increases in EGFP production over the course of the production phase. The level of production achieved with this system reached approximately 17 microg EGFP/10(6) infected cells. 相似文献

It is widely held that the penetration of cells by alphaviruses is dependent on exposure to the acid environment of an endosome. The alphavirus Sindbis virus replicates in both vertebrate and invertebrate cell cultures. We have found that exposure to an acid environment may not be required for infection of cells of the insect host. In this work, we investigated the effects of two agents (NH(4)Cl and chloroquine), which raise the pH of intracellular compartments (lysosomotropic weak bases) on the infection and replication of Sindbis virus in cells of the insect host Aedes albopictus. The results show that both of these agents increase the pH of endosomes, as indicated by protection against diphtheria toxin intoxication. NH(4)Cl blocked the production of infectious virus and blocked virus RNA synthesis when added prior to infection. Chloroquine, in contrast to its effect on vertebrate cells, had no inhibitory effect on infectious virus production in mosquito cells even when added prior to infection. Treatment with NH(4)Cl did not prevent the penetration of virus RNA into the cell cytoplasm or translation of the RNA to produce a precursor to virus nonstructural proteins. These data suggest that while these two drugs raise the pH of endosomes, they do not block insect cell penetration. These data support previous results published by our laboratory suggesting that exposure to an acid environment within the cell may not be an obligatory step in the process of infection of cells by alphaviruses. 相似文献

Insect produce wide range of protein and peptides as a first fast defense line against pathogen infection. These agents act in different ways including insect immune system activation or by direct impact on the target tumor cells or viruses. It has been shown that some of the insect peptides suppress viral gene and protein expression, rybosilate DNA, whereas others cause membrane lysis, induce apoptosis or arrest cell cycle. Several of the purified and characterized peptides of insect origin are very promising in treating of serious human diseases like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), herpex simplex virus (HSV) or leukaemia. However, some obstacles need to be overcome. Cytotoxic activity of peptides, susceptibility to proteases or high cost of production remain still unsolved problems. Reports on the peptides antiviral and antitumour mechanisms are scanty. Thus, in this review we present characteristic, mode of action and potential medical applications of insects origin peptides with the antiviral and antitumour activity. 相似文献

A baculovirus‐insect cell expression system potentially provides the means to produce prophylactic HIV‐1 virus‐like particle (VLP) vaccines inexpensively and in large quantities. However, the system must be optimized to maximize yields and increase process efficiency. In this study, we optimized the production of two novel, chimeric HIV‐1 VLP vaccine candidates (GagRT and GagTN) in insect cells. This was done by monitoring the effects of four specific factors on VLP expression: these were insect cell line, cell density, multiplicity of infection (MOI), and infection time. The use of western blots, Gag p24 ELISA, and four‐factorial ANOVA allowed the determination of the most favorable conditions for chimeric VLP production, as well as which factors affected VLP expression most significantly. Both VLP vaccine candidates favored similar optimal conditions, demonstrating higher yields of VLPs when produced in the Trichoplusia ni Pro? insect cell line, at a cell density of 1 × 106 cells/mL, and an infection time of 96 h post infection. It was found that cell density and infection time were major influencing factors, but that MOI did not affect VLP expression significantly. This work provides a potentially valuable guideline for HIV‐1 protein vaccine optimization, as well as for general optimization of a baculovirus‐based expression system to produce complex recombinant proteins. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Real-time, detailed online information on cell cultures is essential for understanding modern biopharmaceutical production processes. The determination of key parameters, such as cell density and viability, is usually based on the offline sampling of bioreactors. Gathering offline samples is invasive, has a low time resolution, and risks altering or contaminating the production process. In contrast, measuring process parameters online provides more safety for the process, has a high time resolution, and thus can aid in timely process control actions. We used online double differential digital holographic microscopy (D3HM) and machine learning to perform non-invasive online cell concentration and viability monitoring of insect cell cultures in bioreactors. The performance of D3HM and the machine learning model was tested for a selected variety of baculovirus constructs, products, and multiplicities of infection (MOI). The results show that with online holographic microscopy insect cell proliferation and baculovirus infection can be monitored effectively in real time with high resolution for a broad range of process parameters and baculovirus constructs. The high-resolution data generated by D3HM showed the exact moment of peak cell densities and temporary events caused by feeding. Furthermore, D3HM allowed us to obtain information on the state of the cell culture at the individual cell level. Combining this detailed, real-time information about cell cultures with methodical machine learning models can increase process understanding, aid in decision-making, and allow for timely process control actions during bioreactor production of recombinant proteins. 相似文献

Time reduction and process optimization of the baculovirus expression system for more efficient recombinant protein production in insect cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Rapid expression of recombinant proteins for structure determination is one of the major challenges in pharmaceutical and academic research, since the number of potential drug targets has increased significantly in the last decade. Despite the fact that the baculovirus expression vector system is widely used for this purpose, the system is hampered by three very slow and tedious procedures, namely generation of high titer baculovirus stock, determination of the virus titer and discovery of the best conditions for protein expression. We herein describe the development of the ultraBac system to address and overcome these issues for protein expression in insect cells. We have established a new baculovirus expression technology for insect cells that is based on co-expression of GFP with target genes, a new regime for cell culturing and a highly efficient purification and enrichment procedure for recombinant baculovirus particles. Co-expression of GFP is used to monitor the infection of insect cells, to simplify titer determination and to optimize expression conditions. The new regime for cell culturing with increased viability of non-infected insect cells and its combination with the massive enrichment of virus particles via high-speed centrifugation enables the production of large amounts of recombinant virus in a very short period of time. By combining these techniques and by using the bicistronic vector pUltraBac-1, we have been able to cut the time-lines for protein expression in insect cells by half, approaching those for protein production in Escherichia coli. This new expression system is a significant step forward towards industrialized protein production in both, industry and academia. 相似文献

Sulfated polyanions can be used to rapidly induce and maintain single-cell suspensions of BTI-TN5B1-4 insect cells, a cell line which clumps in suspension. Elimination of cell clumping results in a significant increase in volumetric yield of the baculovirus expression vector system. Sulfated polyanions, however, inhibited baculovirus infection of BTI-TN5B1-4. Data from binding studies and fusion assays suggest that the inhibition of infection was not due to the observed reduction in viral attachment rate but to inhibition of viral membrane fusion in the endosome.The three most effective polyanions for inducing single cells are dextran sulfate, pentosan sulfate, and polyvinyl sulfate. At concentrations required for single-cell formation, dextran sulfate and pentosan sulfate did not affect viral infection at multiplicities of infection greater than one plaque forming unit per cell. In contrast, polyvinyl sulfate blocked viral infection even at a high multiplicity of infection of 20 plaque-forming units per cell. To bypass this inhibition, polyvinyl sulfate can be removed by resuspending the cells in fresh medium before virus addition, and then added back to the cell suspension after a substantial amount of virus has been internalized. Alternatively, polyvinyl sulfate can be neutralized with a polycation before virus addition, and an equivalent amount of polyvinyl sulfate added back after most of the virus has been internalized. We present a simple mathematical model of the attachment and entry of baculovirus in BTI-TN5B1-4, which can be used to design appropriate infection regimens. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract Here we report on the investigation of virus infection development in plants undergoing simultaneous heavy metal stress. We carried out small-scale field experiments using model system Potato virus X (PVX) – Solanum tuberosum cv. Povin' (potato) plants. Heavy metals zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) were added to the soil separately (monometal contamination) at a range of concentrations. Our results show that heavy metal stress significantly delays the appearance and potentiates severity of virus-specific symptoms on infected potato plants. We also demonstrate that PVX content in plants may increase tremendously in response to this abiotic stressor. Finally, we provide links to the possible consequences in the context of virus epidemiology. 相似文献

Temperature oscillation can enhance cell viability of sf9 insect cells and baculovirus production of occlusion bodies (OB) and extracellular virus (ECV) compared with constant temperature in stationary culture and suspension culture. The optimal oscillation range was 24 to 28°C. At this temperature oscillation, the viability of uninfected and infected sf9 cells can be maintained much longer than at 28°C. Although the rate of virus infection was a little low at 24 to 28°C, the final cell infectivity was similar to that at a constant temperature of 28°C. The production of OB was increased from 13.4 to 17.4/cell in stationary culture and from 13.9/cell to 18.1/cell in suspension culture. The titer of ECV was increased from 87 to 114 PFU/cell in stationary culture and from 79 to 114 PFU/cell in suspension culture. 相似文献

Helicoverpa armigera stunt virus (HaSV) is a member of the Tetraviridae family of RNA viruses whose replication and expression strategies are not well understood due to the absence of an in vitro cell culture system. We set out to find such a system for HaSV by screening an array of 13 insect and 1 mammalian cell culture lines with both virus particle infection and genomic RNA transfection. No cell line was found to be permissive for replication, although entry of genomic RNA was verified. The apparent specificity of this virus for its in vivo midgut target site was strongly corroborated by studies involving Northern blots of RNA extracted from infected insects. Only larval midgut RNA showed the presence of virus after hosts were infected per os or by injection which exposed other host cell types to the virus. The absence of replication in cell culture was due to a lack, or presence, of host factors important to replicase activity and also the likely absence of virus particle binding and entry. We thus provide both in vitro- and in vivo-based evidence demonstrating that this virus is extremely specific in the type of cells in which it will initiate an infection. 相似文献
