Abstract

The aim of our study was to establish an efficient system for the in vitro production of the insect pathogenic Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line. We optimized cultivation conditions for cell proliferation as well as for virus replication in a 1.5 litre stirred tank bioreactor. Cell and virus propagation were found to be optimal at a constant oxygen tension of 40%. In order to provide sufficient nutrients during virus synthesis filtration and perfusion devices were connected to the bioreactor. A virus production procedure in a repeated batch mode by using a two stage bioreactor system is described. Stage I was optimized for cell production and stage II for virus production.
