Technical Name Influenza virus-like particle vaccine production using baculovirus expression system
Project Operator National Health Research Institutes
Project Host 胡勇誌
Summary
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza viruses infection. The egg-based production method has many drawbacks, we established baculovirus-based VLPs expression platform for H7N9 VLPs production, purify the VLPs satisfied with FDA regulation, and improved its immunogenicity to the same level compared with H7N9 whole virus vaccine.
Scientific Breakthrough
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza viruses infection. The egg-based production method has many drawbacks, we established baculovirus-based VLPs expression platform for H7N9 VLPs production, purify the VLPs satisfied with FDA regulation, and improved its immunogenicity to the same level compared with H7N9 whole virus vaccine.
Industrial Applicability
In order to providing safer quality of influenza vaccine and improving its immune effect, the virus-like particle influenza vaccine platform can significantly reduce the cost (no need for high-risk biosafety level II or III production plants) and also be used for seasonal influenza vaccine production as well as other human infectious diseases.
