Scalable Production of Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus Vectors Expressing Soluble Viral Receptors for Broad-Spectrum Inhibition of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Type 2.

ABSTRACT: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to be a major threat to the global swine industry, causing significant economic losses. To address this, we developed a scalable recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based strategy for the delivery of soluble viral receptors (SVRs) to treat and potentially eliminate PRRSV infections. This strategy involves fusing the virus-binding domains of two key cellular receptors, sialoadhesin (Sn4D) and CD163 (SRCR5-9), with an Fc fragment. We then used an insect cell-baculovirus expression vector system to produce the rAAV-SRCR59-Fc/Sn4D-Fc vector. Through a series of optimizations, we determined the best conditions for rAAV production, including a baculovirus co-infection ratio of 0.5:1.0, an initial insect cell density of 2
