研究狂犬病病毒CTNCEC25株的增殖能力、病毒的感染力及致病力等表型特征,为将该毒株应用于疫苗生产提供基础信息。将CTNCEC25株及其母株CTN-1株分别接种非洲绿猴肾细胞(Vero细胞)、原代鸡胚成纤维细胞(Primary chicken embryo cell,CEC)和小鼠神经瘤母细胞(Mouse neuroblastoma N2acells,N2a),观察其细胞病变特性及其复制规律;以脑内注射的方式接种动物,观察其对乳鼠、小鼠、豚鼠及家兔等动物的致病力;同时还将CTNCEC25株在CEC上连续传20代,在乳鼠脑内传3代,观察其增殖能力、病毒感染力及致病力的稳定性。研究结果表明,与母株CTN-1株相比,CTNCEC25株在Vero细胞和N2a细胞上的增殖并没有显著差异,但在CEC上,CTNCEC25株具有明显优势,其72h滴度可达107.5~7.6 FFU/mL,而CTN-1株滴度只有105.8 FFU/mL;此外CTNCEC25株在N2a细胞、Vero细胞及CEC上均可产生明显的细胞病变。脑内致病力实验结果表明,CTNCEC25株虽然对1~3日龄的乳鼠仍然具有较强的脑内致病性,但对成年小鼠的脑内致病力大大减弱,对豚鼠和家兔不致病。经细胞和乳鼠脑内连续传代,CTNCEC25株在CEC上增殖稳定,其减弱的毒力并未回升,无弱毒返祖现象。综上所述,本研究初步证实CTNCEC25株是一株高度减毒、不易返祖的弱毒株,其在CEC上可稳定、快速增殖,病毒滴度高(107.0 FFU/mL),是一株安全性较高的狂犬病疫苗候选毒株。

MDCK and Vero cells for influenza virus vaccine production: a one-to-one comparison up to lab-scale bioreactor cultivation

Over the last decade, adherent MDCK (Madin Darby canine kidney) and Vero cells have attracted considerable attention for production of cell culture-derived influenza vaccines. While numerous publications deal with the design and the optimization of corresponding upstream processes, one-to-one comparisons of these cell lines under comparable cultivation conditions have largely been neglected. Therefore, a direct comparison of influenza virus production with adherent MDCK and Vero cells in T-flasks, roller bottles, and lab-scale bioreactors was performed in this study. First, virus seeds had to be adapted to Vero cells by multiple passages. Glycan analysis of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein showed that for influenza A/PR/8/34 H1N1, three passages were sufficient to achieve a stable new N-glycan fingerprint, higher yields, and a faster increase to maximum HA titers. Compared to MDCK cells, virus production in serum-free medium with Vero cells was highly sensitive to trypsin concentration. Virus stability at 37 °C for different virus strains showed differences depending on medium, virus strain, and cell line. After careful adjustment of corresponding parameters, comparable productivity was obtained with both host cell lines in small-scale cultivation systems. However, using these cultivation conditions in lab-scale bioreactors (stirred tank, wave bioreactor) resulted in lower productivities for Vero cells.     

Screening of a high growth influenza B virus strain in Vero cells

Due to the insufficient supply of embryonated chicken eggs, the preparation of large quantities of inactivated influenza vaccines will require an alternative virus culture system after the emergence or reemergence of a pandemic influenza virus. The Vero cell is one of the ideal options since it was used for producing many kinds of human vaccines. However, most of the influenza viruses can not grow well in Vero cells. To develop a new influenza vaccine with Vero cells as a substrate, the virus needs to adapt to this cell substrate to maintain high growth characteristics. By serial passages in Vero cells, the B/Yunnan/2/2005va (B) strain was successfully adapted to Vero cells, with the hemagglutination titer (HAT) of the virus reaching 1:512. The high growth characteristic of this strain is stable up to 21 passages. The strain was identified by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test and sequencing respectively; the HA₁ gene sequence of the virus was cloned and analyzed. The screening and establishment of high growth B virus provides an important tool for influenza vaccine production in Vero cells.     

Herpes simplex virus 1 mutant deleted in the alpha 22 gene: growth and gene expression in permissive and restrictive cells and establishment of latency in mice.

R325-beta TK+, a herpes simplex virus 1 mutant carrying a 500-base-pair deletion in the alpha 22 gene and the wild-type (beta) thymidine kinase (TK) gene, was previously shown to grow efficiently in HEp-2 and Vero cell lines. We report that in rodent cell lines exemplified by the Rat-1 line, plating efficiency was reduced and growth was multiplicity dependent. A similar multiplicity dependence for growth and lack of virus spread at low multiplicity was seen in resting, confluent human embryonic lung (HEL) cells. The shutoff of synthesis of beta proteins was delayed and the duration of synthesis of gamma proteins was extended in R325-beta TK+-infected HEL cells relative to cells infected with the wild-type parent, but no significant differences were seen in the total accumulation of viral DNA. To quantify the effect on late (gamma 2) gene expression, a recombinant carrying the deletion in the alpha 22 gene and a gamma 2-TK gene (R325-gamma 2 TK) was constructed and compared with a wild-type virus (R3112) carrying a chimeric gamma 2-TK gene. In Vero cells, the gamma 2-TK gene of R325-gamma 2TK was expressed earlier than and at the same level as the gamma 2-TK gene of R3112. In the confluent resting HEL cells, the expression of the gamma 2-TK gene of the alpha 22- virus was grossly reduced relative to that of the alpha 22+ virus. Electron microscopic studies indicated that the number of intranuclear capsids of R325-beta TK+ virus was reduced relative to that of the parent virus in resting confluent HEL cells, but the number of DNA-containing capsids was higher. Notwithstanding the grossly reduced neurovirulence on intracerebral inoculation in mice, R325-beta TK+ virus was able to establish latency in mice. We conclude that (i) the alpha 22 gene affects late (gamma 2) gene expression, and (ii) a host cell factor complements that function of the alpha 22 gene to a greater extent in HEp-2 and Vero cells than in confluent, resting HEL cells.

Marmoset lymphoblastoid cells as a sensitive host for isolation of measles virus.

B95-8, an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed marmoset B-lymphoblastoid cell line, and its derivative B95a, capable of attachment to a substrate surface, were 10,000-fold more sensitive to measles virus present in clinical specimens than were Vero cells. B95-8 and B95a cells were thus thought to be useful host cells for the isolation of measles virus. Quantitation of measles virus present in clinical specimens showed that a large quantity of virus, exceeding 10(6) 50% tissue culture infective doses per ml of a nasal-swab eluate, is shed into secretions by patients with acute measles, consistent with the contagiousness of the disease. Measles viruses isolated in B95a cells differed in some biological properties from those adapted to Vero cells. First, the viruses isolated in B95a cells did replicate in Vero cells, but release into the fluid phase was less efficient than that of Vero cell-adapted viruses. Second, minor antigenic differences were found between virus strains isolated in B95a cells and those isolated in Vero cells from the same clinical specimens. Third, the viruses isolated and propagated in B95a cells caused clinical signs in experimentally infected monkeys resembling those of human measles. It was suspected that measles virus is subject to host cell-mediated selection and that the viruses grown in B95a cells are more representative of measles virus circulating among humans than are the viruses selected in Vero cells.
