Abstract

We describe a method for the generation of clinical grade, live-attenuated vaccines in Vero cells entirely from cDNA plasmids. The entire electroporation procedure can be completed in less than 15 minutes and this is a significant improvement over previous lipid or electroporation based transfection techniques that also involve a heat-shock step. Importantly, the virus preparations can be generated with a minimal use of animal product derived materials, an important consideration for a vaccine candidate that is to be tested in humans. Since it is likely that all live-attenuated parainfluenza virus and pneumovirus vaccines in the future will be generated using reverse genetics, this simplified method provides guidance on how this can be achieved.
