Optimization of Enterovirus-like Particle Production and Purification Using Design of Experiments.

ABSTRACT: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) represents an emerging health concern whose main causative agents are Coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) and enterovirus A71 (EV71). The lack of a CVA6 vaccine and the rise of new HFMD-causing strains due to the containment of established HFMD-causing viruses necessitates the search for alternative vaccine technologies, including virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidates. While studies have demonstrated that production of enterovirus-like particles in various organisms can be achieved by expression of the viral P1 structural proteins and the 3CD protease, optimization based on the interplay between the three most commonly altered infection parameters (multiplicity of infection (MOI), viable cell density at the time of infection (VCD), and the infection period)
