Claims19
A method for producing a vaccinia virus comprising:
- (a) infecting HeLa cells adhered to a cell culture bioreactor surface with a Western Reserve strain vaccinia virus by contacting the HeLa cells with the vaccinia virus at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of between 0.005 and 1.0 plaque forming units (pfu)/cell;
- (b) culturing the infected cells in an infection medium having a pH of 7.2 to 7.6 at temperature of 30° C. to 40° C.;
- and
- (c) harvesting vaccinia virus from the culture, whereby at least 50 pfu of vaccinia virus per HeLa cell is produced, calculated as
