Process Optimization for Lentivirus Production in the iCELLis® Nano Using a Chemically Defined, Animal Component Free HEK293 Media

  Abstract Use of FBS in large scale clinical manufacturing applications represents a significant risk due to potential adventitious agent contamination, unreliable supply chain from limited global supply, and considerable variability in vector yield due to lot-to-lot composition variations. To circumvent the many challenges and drawbacks associated with using serum in viral vector production media …

OptiVERO – Virus Production Using VERO Cells in Flasks without Serum in Chemically Defined Cell Culture Media Application Note

Workflow Summary Combine kit supplements of OptiVERO. Prepare complementary reagents. Wash cells to remove traces of FBS and harvest from growth surface. Seed in OptiVERO and grow to confluence. Add desired virus to be expanded in minimal basal EMEM. Incubate for 2 hours at 37°C. Add fresh OptiVERO. Allow virus expansion for 3-13 days. Quantify …
