Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a high infectious titer parvovirus in a culture supernatant and a high infectious titer parvovirus solution obtained by the method.
- Viruses infect and amplify many animals and plants and microorganisms including humans. Some are DNA viruses having DNA as a genome, and some are RNA viruses having RNA as a genome, and each virus has a different growth mechanism. Many viruses cause viral infections when they infect animals such as humans. Viruses cannot increase alone, but can infect cells of other animals, plants, and microorganisms, and increase by using the capacity of the cells. A cell that is capable of growing upon infection with a virus is called the “host cell” of the virus. The types of host cells that can be infected and propagated by viruses are determined for each type of virus.
- Parvovirus is a small single-stranded DNA virus, which is a small icosahedral virus with a diameter of about 20 nm and has no envelope (Non-patent Document 1). Parvovirus causes disease by infecting animals. Such diseases include infectious erythema, anemia and arthritis caused by B19 parvovirus in humans, anemia caused by simian parvovirus (SPV), cat enteritis / leukopenia / schizophrenia caused by feline parvovirus (FPV), dog parvo Virus (CPV) canine enteritis / myocarditis, porcine parvovirus (PPV) stillbirth, bovine parvovirus (BPV) cattle enteritis, goose parvovirus (GPV) goose enteritis / myocarditis, mouse micro Known are enterocolitis and hepatitis in mice caused by viruses (MVM) (Non-patent Documents 2 and 3).
- Parvoviruses are important as pathogens that cause disease in human animals such as dogs and cats. It is known that when a dog is infected with canine parvovirus, enteritis is caused as described above, severe diarrhea and vomiting occur, and death occurs (Non-patent Document 3). When cats are infected with parvovirus, they can cause acute enterocolitis and leukopenia, which can lead to death from secondary infections, and when infected with fetuses and neonates, the central nervous system and thymus are damaged, resulting in ataxia. May cause death or death.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 In order to prevent parvovirus infection, research on a parvovirus vaccine has been conducted (Patent Documents 1 and 2). These studies require the production and use of viruses. Many viruses can be propagated and produced by culturing host cells and infecting them with the virus. Vaccine production with attenuated or inactivated virus can also be achieved by the same procedure as virus production.
- virus clearance removal performance of manufacturing processes is evaluated to ensure that biologic drugs such as genetically modified drugs (biopharmaceuticals) and antibody drugs are not contaminated with viruses (virus safety).
- viruses virus safety
- the virus clearance of each process is measured by adding a virus to the pharmaceutical intermediate product before each process and quantifying the amount of virus before and after the process.

- Non-patent Document 4 In order to produce viruses, there are a method using experimental animals, a method using chicken eggs, and a method using tissue culture / cultured cells (Non-patent Document 4). The method using laboratory animals and eggs has the disadvantage of high cost. An alternative method is a method using cultured cells (Non-patent Document 5). Parvovirus is also produced by a method using cultured cells (Patent Document 1).
- a method is generally used in which a host cell culture system is infected with a seed virus, and the virus is propagated and recovered.
- the seed virus referred to here is a name that refers to a small amount of virus used as an initial seed for virus propagation.
- the timing at which a host cell is infected with a seed virus is usually the stage when the host cell reaches confluence and forms a monolayer (Non-patent Document 4, Patent Documents 3 to 6).
- Non-patent Document 4 the host cell is in stationary phase and does not grow any further. Therefore, in the prior art, after completing the host cell growth culture process, virus infection is started in a culture environment where no further cell growth occurs, and the virus is cultured simultaneously with the death of the host cell due to virus infection. It was to produce in the supernatant. Such a method is not an exception even in parvovirus, and virus production is performed by infecting confluent cells (Non-patent document 6, Non-patent document 7).
- the infectivity titer of the obtained parvovirus is 10 5. ⁇ 10 7 TCID 50 / mL.
- parvovirus is added to the host cell in a confluent state where the number of cells is the largest, and the added parvovirus grows in the host cell and increases with the death of the host cell. .
- the parvovirus solution having the highest infectivity can be recovered.
- the parvovirus obtained in the culture supernatant by this method is naturally recovered in a suspended state in a medium used for cell culture.
- impurities are removed from the parvovirus solution obtained as described above.
- impurities such as cell debris are removed by low-speed centrifugation.
- cesium chloride density gradient ultracentrifugation and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation technology using ultracentrifugation technology are also known (Non-patent Document 8).
- the virus clearance test of the virus removal filter for the evaluation is carried out in a model process in which the actual production process is scaled down.
- the first requirement for this virus clearance test is that the filter is clogged.
- the addition amount of the virus suspension is such that it does not occur, and secondly, the addition amount can indicate that the logarithmic removal rate (LRV), which is the virus clearance value of the step to be evaluated, is 4 or more.
- LUV logarithmic removal rate
- the parameters including the flow rate of the process must be the same as the actual production process (WHO Technical Report, Series No.924, 2004 162-165). There is a need to.
- LRV 1% or less, preferably 0.1% or less by volume ratio
- four or more processes are considered robust and effective and reliable processes for virus removal (A Robust, effective and reliable process steps) (WHO Technical Report, Series No.924, 2004 163-164) It is necessary to set the amount of virus added so that 4 or more can be obtained as a result. Thus, it is necessary to show that LRV is 4 or more as virus removal performance, and the amount of virus suspension added to the intermediate product is 1% or less, preferably 0.1% in volume ratio.
- the purified and purified virus has extremely high purity, and the virus infectivity titer (TCID 50 / mL) and impurity protein concentration (ng / mL) is 10000 or more: 1 and there is a problem that virus particles tend to aggregate due to the small amount of impurities. If virus particles aggregate, virus clearance is overestimated in virus clearance evaluation in the manufacturing process of biologics, because the virus is separated and removed even with a pore size filter that would normally pass the virus. There's a problem.
- ultracentrifugation techniques such as cesium density gradient ultracentrifugation and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation require skillful techniques that are extremely complicated and difficult to operate.
- volume of the centrifuge tube of a general-purpose ultracentrifuge is limited, it is difficult to scale up, so generally it can only be performed on a small scale, and it is not realistic to incorporate these purification processes in the industry. Absent.
- the present inventors have cultivated parvovirus host cells, inoculated with parvovirus seed virus, and various conditions (initial host cell density) in a culture system in which parvovirus is propagated.

- the present embodiment a mode for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present embodiment”) will be described in detail.
- this invention is not limited to the following embodiment, It can implement by changing variously within the range of the summary.
- This embodiment is a method for producing a parvovirus having a high infectivity of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or more in a culture supernatant by culturing host cells and a parvovirus seed virus in a culture substrate.
- A a step of separately calculating beforehand the doubling time of the logarithmic growth phase of the host cell in the culture and the cell density of the host cell when confluently proliferated;

- D recovering the culture supernatant containing parvovirus obtained by the culture in
- the host cell can be propagated by subculture.
- Parvovirus is a small linear single-stranded DNA virus.
- a DNA virus is a virus having DNA as a genome, and synthesizes mRNA from genomic DNA using RNA polymerase of a host cell, and synthesizes protein based on the mRNA and propagates.
- Most DNA viruses are double-stranded DNA viruses, but parvoviruses have linear single-stranded DNA as a genome. Since the virus cannot grow in the state of single-stranded DNA, parvovirus has a unique growth mechanism of growing through the state of double-stranded DNA using DNA polymerase in addition to the RNA polymerase of the host cell.
- the Parvoviridae virus has three genera belonging to the Parvoviridae subfamily, namely, the Parvoorivirus genus that does not require a helper virus for virus replication but grows autonomously in the host cell (Parvorivirus), and requires a helper virus Dependovirus, erythrovirus genus that specifically infects red blood cells, three genera belonging to the subfamily of Densovirus, Densovirus genus that infects insects, Iteravirus And the genus Aedes aegypti densovirus.
- “Parvovirus” in the present embodiment refers to a virus belonging to the genus Parvovirus. Since parvovirus viruses have a similar growth mechanism, the method of this embodiment can be used in common.
- the parvovirus (Parvovirus genus virus) in this embodiment is not limited, but is a porcine parvovirus (PorcineorParvovirus PPV), canine parvovirus (Canine Parvovirus CPV), mouse microvirus (Minute Virus of Mice MVM) , Rat virus (Rat Virus RV), H-1 virus (H-1 Virus H-1), feline parvovirus (Feline Parvovirus FPV), goose parvovirus (Goose Parvovirus GPV), bovine parvovirus (Bovine Parvovirus BPV) included. These viruses have similar sizes, genome structures, virus particle structures, and propagation mechanisms, and all of them can be suitably used in the method of this embodiment.
- the “host cell” in the present embodiment is not limited to the type as long as it is a cell sensitive to the above parvovirus (that can be infected with parvovirus).
- Examples of cells sensitive to parvovirus include PK-13 cells, PK-15 cells, LCC-PK1 cells, ESK (embryonic swine kidney) cells, SK cells, ST (swine testes) sensitive to porcine parvovirus.
- a cell that undergoes cytopathicity by infection can be preferably used.
- porcine kidney cells can be used in the case of porcine parvovirus, and canine kidney cells in the case of canine parvovirus.
- the present invention is not limited thereto, and is sensitive to parvovirus as described above. It is preferably applicable to cells that cause cell degeneration.
- the “host cell” an animal cell having infinite proliferation ability can be used, and what is generally called a “cell line” can be used.
- the host cell is preferably an adhesion-dependent cell.
- Adhesion-dependent cells are cells that cannot survive or proliferate unless attached to a culture substrate, such as muscle cells and organ cells. Adhesion-dependent cells are cultured while being attached to the bottom surface / wall surface of a culture substrate such as a culture flask or a carrier called a microcarrier. Flasks and petri dishes are generally used for small scale culture. Culturing using a microcarrier has the advantage that it can be easily scaled up sequentially (Japanese Patent No. 3982843, a method for sequentially culturing animal cells using a porous carrier). In this embodiment, suspension cells can also be used.
- Floating cells grow in a floating state, and are cultured in a state of being suspended or suspended in a medium. In suspension cells, it is difficult to exchange the medium before collecting the culture supernatant. Therefore, it is desirable to culture the suspension cells by attaching them to a microcarrier, for example.
- the type of “culture substrate” is not limited, and includes any culture substrate commonly used in cell culture, such as a culture vessel, a culture flask, a petri dish, a roller bottle, or a culture plate. .
- the culture temperature can be a temperature suitable for host cell growth. Parvovirus host cells are known to grow in the range of 33 ° C to 39 ° C ("Introduction to Animal Cell Culture (Biochemical Experimental Method 29), Masatoshi Matsutani / Academic Publishing Center" p.14-15 ) Preferably, the culture temperature can be 33 ° C. or higher and 39 ° C. or lower, for example, about 37 ° C.
- a medium containing animal serum containing cell growth factor (fetal calf serum, calf serum, horse serum, etc.) at a ratio of 10% or less. Since the amount of virus production is reduced in a serum-free medium, it is also possible to employ a technique in which the medium is replaced with a serum-free medium before the virus is recovered after cell growth is performed in the serum medium.
- the “infection titer” is a unit indicating the virus infectivity titer. It is synonymous with "Titer” often used in the virus industry. Since viruses cannot be seen using an optical microscope, the density (number / volume) cannot be measured with a microscope like biological cells. Therefore, in the case of viruses, the infectivity titer utilizing the infectivity to host cells is used as a unit, and the amount and concentration are substituted. For example, when a virus suspension diluted at an appropriate magnification is added to a monolayer of host cells, the number of viruses is detected as plaque and the infectious titer is measured as plaque forming unit (pfu) / mL it can.
- pfu plaque forming unit
- the dilution of the liquid containing the virus proceeds, and the infectivity is 50% infectious dose (TCID 50 ) / mL at a concentration at which the rate of positive infection of host cells becomes 50%.
- TCID 50 50% infectious dose
- both parvoviruses used are able to measure infectious titer as TCID 50 / mL, it referred to the infectivity titer as TCID 50 / mL.
- the infectious titer of parvovirus may be expressed by other units such as pfu / mL. In a parvovirus that can measure the infectious titer in other units, conversion between different units can be easily performed by measuring the infectious titer of the same parvovirus suspension in both units simultaneously.
- the “doubling time in the logarithmic growth phase” is the time required for the host cells to double in the logarithmic growth phase.
- the cell growth curve transitions to the logarithmic growth phase, stationary phase, and death phase.
- cells proliferate by repeating cell division at a constant rate.
- the doubling time varies depending on cell conditions, medium conditions such as serum concentration, and culture conditions such as culture temperature.
- the number of cells eventually reaches the upper limit in the culture vessel. This is the period when growth stops due to nutrient deficiency, waste accumulation, pH drop, etc., and is called the stationary phase. At this time, the adhesion-dependent cells are in a dense state covering the surface of the culture container, and this state is called “confluent”. To obtain the number of cells (concentration) when they reach confluence, after inoculating the cells in the culture vessel, collect the cells every 24 hours and measure the number of cells. (Density) may be obtained.
- the cell number or cell density when the host cell proliferates confluently is defined as follows. First, after inoculating host cells on a culture substrate such as a culture flask, subculture is performed, the number of cells is measured every 24 hours, and the doubling time for each 24 hours is calculated. Measurement of the number of cells every 24 hours is completed until the day after the doubling time is 5 times longer than the doubling time in the logarithmic growth phase, but it is also measured when the number of cells decreases for two consecutive days. End. Then, the average value of the data on the day when the number of cells becomes the largest and the total of three days before and after that day is defined as the number of cells or the cell density at confluence.
- Some types of cells maintain a stationary phase for a long time after reaching the stationary phase, rather than shifting to the death phase.
- the day when the doubling time is more than 5 times longer is taken as the confluence arrival date, and the average value of the number of cells on that day and the next day is the confluent cell number or cell density.
- the culture substrate used for counting the number of cells every 24 hours is to be measured on separate culture substrates that have been cultured under the same conditions at the same time, and the cells are once again returned to the culture substrate on which the number of cells has been measured. Do not use for next day measurement. This is to avoid the influence of the growth lag time due to the cell recovery operation.
- the cell number or cell density at confluence varies depending on the culture conditions such as the culture substrate, medium, cell type, culture temperature and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to measure by the above-mentioned method for every culture condition.
- the cells die due to nutrient depletion or the like. This is called the death period.
- Passaging is generally performed in the late stage of the logarithmic growth phase in a state of 60% to 80% confluence. When reaching confluence, the growth of adhesion-dependent cells stops, so before reaching confluence. It is necessary to perform subculture (Hideki Koyama, Cell Culture Lab Manual, Springer Fairlark Tokyo, 1999 51-52). Repeated passages after reaching confluence may weaken cells or change their properties. In the case of suspension cells, the cells can be subcultured by diluting the cells in a fresh medium and planting them.
- the host cells are detached from the culture vessel with a proteolytic enzyme such as trypsin, a chelating agent such as EDTA, or a mixture thereof, and the number of cells is diluted and transferred to a new culture vessel. Be born. Subculture is usually performed 2 to 3 times a week, diluted 2 to 12 times.
- the canine parvovirus host cell MDCK canine kidney cell
- passaged 2 to 6 times every 2 to 3 days is diluted and passaged 2 to 6 times every 2 to 3 days (Toru Akiyama et al. Cell and Medium Utilization Handbook Yodosha 2008 45-46).
- the seed virus of parvovirus is inoculated so that the multiplicity of infection (MOI) is 0.0001 to 0.1.
- a culture comprising a host cell and a medium having a cell density of 1/500 to 1/20 of the cell density of the host cell when proliferated to confluence calculated in advance in step (a). It is necessary to prepare a substrate.
- the culture substrate is preferably a cell having 1/300 to 1/30, more preferably 1/200 to 1/40 of the cell density of the host cell when proliferated to confluence calculated in advance in step (a). Contains a density of host cells.
- the infection is started at a predetermined cell density as extremely low as 1/500 to 1/20 of the cell density of the host cell when confluently proliferated.
- parvovirus in the method of infecting confluent host cells, which is a common sense of conventional virus production methods, no growth of the host cells is observed, and the host cells continue to die through cytopathy due to infection.
- the present invention succeeded in simultaneously achieving host cell growth and virus growth by initiating infection at a very low host cell density in this embodiment. While not being bound by theory, it is thought that this host cell growth and virus growth occur simultaneously due to the growth mechanism unique to parvovirus.
- the parvovirus is a DNA virus that moves into the nucleus in the host cell and replicates DNA, and unlike other viruses that can grow in the cytoplasm, it grows slowly and therefore kills infected cells rapidly. Therefore, it is considered that cell growth as a whole culture system was allowed. In the infection in the confluent state, which is the prior art, the host cells have entered the stagnation phase after having completed the logarithmic growth phase, and even if parvovirus growth is slow, cell growth was not accompanied.
- a host cell and a virus are propagated simultaneously by using a parvovirus-specific growth mechanism, “simultaneous progress time of host cell growth and parvovirus growth”
- a parvovirus having a high infectivity value can be provided.
- the seed virus is then infected at an appropriate host cell density for the purpose of ensuring such a sufficiently long propagation time.
- the host cell density at the time of infection is too high, the host cell density reaches confluence in a short period of time and cell growth stops, making it difficult to ensure a sufficiently long growth time.
- step (a) the cell density of the host cell when confluently grown is calculated and measured in advance. Then, the cell density of the host cell when inoculating the seed virus of parvovirus in step (b) is defined by the ratio to the cell density of the host cell when grown to confluence calculated in step (a).
- the simultaneous propagation time is too short, as described above, the amount of parvovirus multiplication becomes insufficient, and a parvovirus having a high infectivity value cannot be obtained.
- the simultaneous growth time is longer than necessary, it is not bound by theory, but parvovirus growth exceeded host cell growth, and the entire host cell was killed and released from the cell. Parvovirus is inactivated due to the influence of protease, etc., and the infectivity titer decreases.
- the culture is collected at an appropriate timing to bring the simultaneous growth time to an appropriate range, and a very high 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or more in the culture supernatant. Infectious titer of parvovirus can be obtained.
- the multiplicity of infection (MOI) of the parvovirus seed virus is 0.0001 to 0.1 on the culture substrate containing the above-mentioned host cells having a low cell density and a medium. Inoculate as follows.
- “multiplicity of infection” is the ratio of the added amount of virus to the number of host cells, and is expressed as virus infectivity / number of host cells.
- the seed virus inoculation with the parvovirus may be inoculated with the seed virus so that the MOI is 0.0001 to 0.1 simultaneously with inoculation of the host cell having the above-mentioned predetermined cell density on the culture substrate.
- Host cell culture may be started at a lower cell density, and seed virus may be inoculated so that the MOI is 0.0001 to 0.1 when the above cell density is reached.
- Parvovirus multiplicity of infection is preferably in the range of 0.001 to 0.03, more preferably in the range of 0.003 to 0.01.
- a host cell having a predetermined low cell density is inoculated with a seed virus so as to have a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.0001 to 0.1 and infection is started
- MOI multiplicity of infection
- the progression of virus infection begins slowly, and the total number of cells initially increases while the total amount of parvovirus also increases.However, at a certain point in time, the growth rate of parvovirus exceeds the growth rate of the host cells, and the Infectious titer virus is produced.
- the seed virus infected with the host cell replicates itself in the host cell with the function of the host cell and is released outside the cell or remains inside the cell. Cells infected with viruses have a pattern that causes cytopathy and a pattern that does not.
- Viruses that cause cell degeneration are pathologically toxic, but viruses that do not cause pathogenicity cause persistent infection without showing pathogenicity. Cell degeneration causes cell death. In the present embodiment, cells that cause cytopathy are preferred because of the high virus production, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the culture time is 5 to 11 times, more preferably 6 to 9 times, and further preferably 7 to 8 times the doubling time of the host cell.
- the culture temperature can be a temperature suitable for the growth of the host cell, and can be preferably 33 ° C. or higher and 39 ° C. or lower, for example, about 37 ° C.
- the doubling time of the logarithmic growth phase of the host cell and the cell density of the host cell when confluently grown in step (a) are determined in advance. It is desirable to set the culture temperature at the same level as the calculated culture temperature.
- the serum medium When a serum medium is used as the medium, the serum medium is replaced with a serum-free medium immediately before or before the collection time of the culture supernatant in the following step (d), and the serum-free medium is further cultured,
- the culture may be performed for the predetermined time as a whole. This makes it possible to eliminate serum-derived impurities in the recovered virus suspension.
- the serum-free medium volume after the medium exchange can be adjusted as necessary.
- the timing of the medium exchange is preferably 1 to 3 days before the day of collecting the culture supernatant, more preferably 1 to 2 days before.
- a conventional method there is a method in which the infected host cell is destroyed by repeated freezing and thawing, etc., and the virus is recovered, but since a large amount of impurities inside the host cell is generated at that time, even if the highly infected Even if a virus having a valence of 1 is obtained, since the impurity concentration is relatively high, a miscellaneous operation such as ultracentrifugation purification is required when using the virus.
- a parvovirus solution (culture supernatant and impurity removal) of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL, preferably 10 8.3 TCID 50 / mL or more, more preferably 10 8.5 TCID 50 / mL or more. Including later viral suspensions).
- the resulting high infectious titered parvovirus culture supernatant of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or higher can be subjected to low-speed centrifugation under known conditions in order to remove impurities such as free host cells and host cell debris. You can hang it.
- impurities can be removed by membrane filtration with a pore size of 0.1 to 0.5 ⁇ m, preferably 0.2 to 0.45 ⁇ m.
- impurities such as free host cells and host cell debris can be removed by a peg precipitation method using known polyethylene glycol (PEG).
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- the PEG gradually precipitates from those having a large molecular weight. For example, by adding PEG 6000 to 10% and sodium chloride to 0.5 M, leaving at 4 to 30 ° C. for 4 to 40 hours with stirring, and then centrifuging at 9000 to 12000 g for 20 to 60 minutes, Parvovirus can be precipitated. At this time, since the protein of impurities is collected in the supernatant fraction, impurities and parvovirus can be separated and purified.
- PEGs other than PEG6000 can be used for PEG precipitation.
- An anion exchange base material can also be suitably used for the separation and purification of parvovirus. Since parvovirus having a negative charge on the surface is adsorbed to the anion exchange substrate, impurities and parvovirus can be separated by eluting the adsorbed parvovirus with an elution buffer having a high salt concentration.
- the ratio of parvovirus infectivity (TCID 50 / mL) to impurity protein concentration (ng / mL) is 10: 1 to 5000: 1, preferably 40 A parvovirus solution (including virus suspension after removal of impurities) of 1 to 3000: 1 is obtained.
- impurities include free host cells and host cell debris, proteins derived from host cells and serum components, etc., but free host cells and host cell debris are large in size. Since it can be easily removed by a known method such as filtration, in the present invention, the protein concentration is used as an index indicating the abundance of impurities.
- a parvovirus solution having a high infectious titer of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or more can be obtained, and it is possible to eliminate the adverse effects caused by various infectious titer deficiencies when using parvovirus.
- the following description will be made in relation to three typical applications.
- the presence of impurities may adversely affect the intended reaction. Therefore, a virus having an infectivity higher than the virus infectivity actually used for the test is produced, and diluted to such an extent that impurities are not affected, and used for research.
- a virus having an infectivity higher than the virus infectivity actually used for the test is produced, and diluted to such an extent that impurities are not affected, and used for research.
- it In order to be able to measure a high virus inhibitory activity, it must be subjected to a test with a high virus infectivity value. Therefore, it is necessary to produce a virus with a higher infectivity value. That is, it is desirable that the infectivity of the virus obtained by cell culture is higher.
- a parvovirus solution having a high infectivity value of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or more can be obtained, so that it can be used as research material after being diluted in antiviral drug research using parvovirus. It is possible to reduce unexpected reactions and interference caused by impurities.
- the points required for this virus clearance test are firstly the amount of virus suspension added so that clogging of the filter does not occur, and secondly, the virus clearance value of the process to be evaluated.
- the logarithmic removal rate (LRV) is an addition amount that can be shown to be 4 or more. In order to be LRV4 or higher, the virus must be added to the intermediate product subjected to the virus removal filter process so that the virus infection is 10 4 TCID 50 / mL.
- a virus so as to be 10 5 TCID 50 / mL or more in consideration of a loss in a prefilter for removing an aggregate of virus particles.
- the original virus suspension needs to be 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or more.
- a parvovirus solution having an appropriate purity of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or higher and a high infectivity titer can be obtained. Therefore, the problem of filter clogging due to impurities derived from the parvovirus solution can be solved.
- the higher infectivity of virus produced in cell culture is advantageous for production because the load on the subsequent virus vaccine purification process is reduced. If the virus infectivity value is low, the impurity concentration is relatively high, which imposes a load on the purification process and is disadvantageous for production. According to this embodiment, since a parvovirus solution having a high infectivity of 10 8 TCID 50 / mL or more is obtained, the amount of vaccine in the purified raw material is remarkably increased even in parvovirus vaccine production. It becomes possible to carry out the process more efficiently and at low cost.

倍加時間(時間)=0.301t/log10[C2/C1]
そして最も多い細胞数となった日とその前後の計3日のデータの平均値をコンフルエント時の細胞数又は細胞密度と定義する。細胞の種類によっては、定常期に達したのち、なかなか死滅期に移行せずに定常期を長く維持するものがある。その場合は、対数増殖期の倍加時間と比較して、倍加時間が5倍以上に長くなった日をコンフルエント到達日とし、その日と翌日の細胞数の平均値をコンフルエントの細胞数又は細胞密度と定義する。この24時間ごとの細胞数計測に用いる培養基材は、全て同時に同条件で培養を開始した別々の培養基材について測定することとし、一度細胞数を計測した培養基材に再び細胞を戻して翌日の計測に使用しない。これは、細胞回収操作による、増殖のラグタイムの影響を回避するためである。測定誤差や、培養容器ごとの誤差を極力なくすために、少なくとも一度に2つ(n=2)、好ましくは3つ(n=3)、さらに好ましくは4つ(n=4)以上の培養容器を一度に測定する。コンフルエント時の細胞数又は細胞密度は、培養基材、培地、細胞の種類、培養温度などの培養条件によって異なる。したがって、培養条件ごとに前述の方法で計測する必要がある。なお、コンフルエントに達する定常期ののち、細胞は養分枯渇等により死滅していく。これを死滅期と呼ぶ。
ブタパルボウイルス(PPV)の宿主細胞としてPK-13細胞(ATCCから購入)を用い、これを10%牛胎児血清を添加したDMEM培地(以下、「血清培地」と呼ぶ。後述の実施例でも同様。)で、37℃、5%CO2環境下にて、75cm2底面積、容量15mLの組織培養用フラスコ(以下、「フラスコ」と呼ぶ。後述の実施例でも同様。)を用いて継代培養した。このフラスコ内での宿主細胞の細胞数を24時間ごとに測定し、対数増殖期の倍加時間を計測したところ、17時間であった。また最も多い細胞数となった日とその前後の日の細胞数の平均値をコンフルエント時の宿主細胞の細胞密度として計測したところ、2.0×107細胞/フラスコであった。
