Vaccinia virus expression of gp120 and EGFP in host cell lines studied

Published in Vaccine Weekly, April 20th, 2005

Scientists have surveyed mammalian host cell lines to determine vaccinia virus-based expression of gp120 and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP).

"Production of recombinant proteins with the vaccinia virus expression system in five mammalian cell lines (HeLa, BS-C-1, Vero, MRC-5, and 293) was investigated for protein yield and proper post-translational modifications. Regulatory acceptance of the host cell line was taken into consideration, where Vero, MRC-5, and 293 were considered more acceptable to the regulatory authorities. Relevant process knowledge for ease of scale-up with the particular cell type was also considered," scientists writing in the journal...
