DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an innovative high-expression CHO cell based platform for rapid Influenza vaccine production, which will have the ability to complete a 12 week vaccine production cycle, leading to a drastic reduction in response time to Influenza outbreak. This system will have advantages over the traditional approach to vaccine production in chicken eggs in that it can more feasibly meet the rapid "surge capacity" needs that would be required during a pandemic outbreak. Traditional methods of generating Influenza vaccines in embryonated chicken eggs fall short of the needs during a pandemic because of lengthy times required for scale-up, high costs, limited quantities of specialized eggs and potential risks of contamination. Cell-culture based vaccines are potentially a more reliable, flexible, and easily scalable method of producing vaccines; however, cell lines available for efficient large-scale vaccine production are limited. The approach is to integrate two novel technologies for creating a highly efficient, rapid vaccine production system within mammalian cells. The first technology, developed by FluGen, increases the number of surface bound influenza virus receptors for expanding the amount of virus that can infect the cell. The second technology, developed by CDI Bioscience, is incorporated into a high-expression mammalian host cell line (PACE") that, when activated, will be capable of more than doubling the expression of the surface receptors of the FluGen technology. We will achieve the objectives of the project by pursuing three specific aims over a three year period: (Aim 1) Develop a PACE" cell line that stably expresses FluGen surface receptors on cell membrane; Three to four high-expressing PACE" clonal lines stably expressing FluGen surface receptors on cell membrane will be developed. These clonal cell lines will be considered suitable for further characterization if they (a) show over 2-fold FluGen surface receptors expression upon RP shift; and (b) produce higher viral titers when infected with H1N1 (A/PR/8/34 strain) virus, as compared to the PACE" cells that are not engineered with the FluGen surface receptors. (Aim 2) Develop bioprocess protocols for influenza virus production in FluGen surface receptors expressing PACE" cells in shake flasks; We will determine the best CD medium for cell growth and culture viability, and the optimal VCD for induction of RP shift(R). We will then determine the best medium/feed/supplements combination that achieves: (a) at least 2-fold higher expression of FluGen surface receptors upon induction of RP shift(R). (2) Virus titers of at least 107-108 pfu/ml. (Aim 3) Develop scalable bioprocess protocols for influenza virus production in bench top and industrial bioreactors (50-100L); Adapted cells and optimal conditions from Aim 2 will be used in small-scale bench top bioreactors to determine the best cell growth and induction conditions in order to achieve the highest viral titer in an industrial environment. Subsequently, we will develop scale up strategy for optimal influenza virus production in 50-100L bioreactor. Narrative Traditional methods of generating Influenza vaccines in embryonated chicken eggs fall short of the needs during a pandemic outbreak. This project combines two novel technologies for creating a highly efficient, rapid vaccine production system within mammalian cells, allowing completion of a 12 week vaccine production cycle. Achieving the objectives of this project will form a major milestone towards leading to a drastic reduction in response time to Influenza outbreak.

描述(申请人提供)：我们建议开发一种基于CHO细胞的创新高表达平台，用于快速生产流感疫苗，该平台将有能力完成12周的疫苗生产周期，从而大幅缩短对流感爆发的反应时间。与传统的鸡蛋疫苗生产方法相比，该系统将具有优势，因为它可以更可行地满足大流行爆发期间所需的快速“激增能力”需求。传统的用胚胎鸡蛋生产流感疫苗的方法不能满足大流行期间的需求，因为扩大规模所需的时间长，成本高，专门鸡蛋的数量有限，并且存在潜在的污染风险。基于细胞培养的疫苗可能是一种更可靠、更灵活、更容易扩展的疫苗生产方法；然而，可用于高效大规模疫苗生产的细胞系有限。该方法是整合两种新技术，在哺乳动物细胞内创建高效、快速的疫苗生产系统。第一项技术是由FluGen开发的，它增加了与流感病毒表面结合的受体的数量，以扩大可以感染细胞的病毒数量。第二项技术由CDI Bioscience开发，被整合到高表达的哺乳动物宿主细胞系(PACE)中，当被激活时，将能够使FluGen技术的表面受体的表达增加一倍以上。我们将通过在三年的时间里实现三个具体目标来实现该项目的目标：(目标1)建立稳定表达FluGen表面受体的PACE细胞系；建立三到四个稳定表达FluGen表面受体的PACE克隆株。这些克隆细胞系将被认为适合于进一步鉴定，如果它们(A)在RP位移时显示出超过2倍的FluGen表面受体的表达；以及(B)与未经FluGen表面受体工程改造的细胞相比，在感染H1N1(A/PR/8/34株)病毒时产生更高的病毒滴度。(目的2)建立在摇瓶中表达PACE“的FluGen表面受体细胞中生产流感病毒的生物处理方案；我们将确定最适合细胞生长和培养活力的CD培养基，以及诱导RP Shift(R)的最佳VCD。然后，我们将确定实现以下目标的最佳培养基/饲料/补充剂组合：(A)诱导RP Shift(R)后，FluGen表面受体的表达至少增加2倍。(2)病毒滴度至少为107-108pfu/ml。(Aim 3)为在台式和工业生物反应器(50-100L)中生产流感病毒开发可扩展的生物处理方案；来自Aim 2的经过改造的细胞和最佳条件将用于小型台式生物反应器，以确定最佳的细胞生长和诱导条件，以便在工业环境中实现最高的病毒滴度。随后，我们将制定在50-100L生物反应器中优化流感病毒生产的放大策略。叙述在大流行爆发期间，用胚胎鸡蛋生产流感疫苗的传统方法不能满足需要。该项目结合了两项新技术，以在哺乳动物细胞内创建高效、快速的疫苗生产系统，从而完成12周的疫苗生产周期。实现这一项目的目标将成为导致大幅缩短对流感爆发的反应时间的一个重要里程碑。
