Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for the production of biopharmaceuticals implementing a baculovirus-based system. These methods advantageously allow the production of biopharmaceuticals with reduced or no contaminating baculoviral virions.
Claims9
A method for the production of a biopharmaceutical product, comprising:
- (a) infecting a biopharmaceutical-producing insect cell with at least one baculovirus, said at least one baculovirus comprising a genome coding for said biopharmaceutical product, and
- (b) maintaining the biopharmaceutical-producing insect cell under conditions such that the biopharmaceutical product is produced,
- wherein the genome of said at least one baculovirus is deficient for the vp80 gene or wherein said biopharmaceutical-producing insect cell comprises an expression control system allowing the inactivation of the vp80 gene.
