Insulin Improves Cell Growth and Influenza Yield in a HEK293 Suspension Cell Line

This webcast features: Aziza Manceur, Research Officer, National Research Council Canada To produce large quantities of vaccines in a rapid and cost-effective way is the main challenge that the vaccine industry is facing. Major changes to current bioprocesses are difficult to implement due to costs associated with the regulatory approval process. Therefore, we propose to use insulin, a protein currently used and approved in several processes and production platforms, as an additive to boost cell growth and viral production. The HEK293SF-3F6 cell…
