Abstract:
The present invention relates to host cells comprising a nucleic acid encoding Adeno-associated virus (AAV) Rep proteins Rep78 and Rep68, wherein the internal AAV promoter p19 has been inactivated by one or more mutations that maintain the functionality of said Rep78 and Rep68 proteins. The present invention further relates to respective nucleic acids and vectors comprising the same, as well as respective methods for the production of AAV.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) particles, the method including the steps of: (a) contacting and thereby infecting a permanent human amniocyte cell with HCMV, (b) incubating the amniocyte cell, (c) allowing expression of HCMV particles, and (d) isolating of the HCMV particles, wherein the permanent human amniocyte cell expresses the adenoviral gene products E1A and E1B and wherein the amniocyte cells are cultured in serum free medium. Furthermore, the present invention relates to HCMV particles produced by the method of the present invention as well as to a HCMV based vaccine comprising the HCMV particles, the use of the HCMV particles for use in the preparation of a HCMV based vaccine and the HCMV particles for use in the preparation of a therapeutic or diagnostic agent for the prevention or treatment of a HCMV related disease.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to cell lines that are genetically modified to overexpress a β-galactoside α-2,3-sialyltransferase 1 (ST3Gal1), preferably human ST3Gal1, which can be used for the production of recombinant glycoproteins having highly or fully sialylated O-linked GalNAc glycans (GalNAc O-glycans), preferably core 1 GalNAc O-glycans, as well as to respective recombinant glycoproteins. Further, the present invention relates to respective methods of expressing recombinant glycoproteins, methods of increasing the degree of sialylation of recombinant glycoproteins, and methods of decreasing the micro-heterogeneity of GalNAc O-glycans. Finally, the present invention relates to respective uses of the above cell lines for the production of recombinant glycoproteins, for increasing the degree of sialylation of recombinant glycoproteins, and for decreasing the micro-heterogeneity of O-linked GalNAc glycans of recombinant glycoproteins.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the production of Adeno-associated virus (AAV), comprising steps of providing a stable AAV producer cell line in which at least some or all genes encoding the components necessary for the production of AAV are stably integrated into the cell genome, and culturing said cells in perfusion culture during the AAV production step (i.e., during the N step), wherein said perfusion culture encompasses continuous replacement of spent media with fresh media, and wherein said continuous replacement of spent media with fresh media continues after the induction of AAV production.
