Bioprocessing: Solutions For Vaccine Development

Vaccination has remained one of the most effective methods in the fight against pathogenic diseases, such as influenza. In this age of the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented pressure has been placed on the vaccine industry due to a surge in demand for efficient and readily available vaccine technology.

This ebook provides insight into typical production processes of new vaccines and how the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic is influencing the vaccine development landscape worldwide. In order to produce virus particles or other components for vaccines in sufficient quantities, efficient cell
culturing is inevitable. This includes selecting cell lines, the right medium, and a culturing system like a bioreactor to enable optimal growth conditions. All these options for cell‐based vaccine production are discussed in the context of the rabies and the influenza virus.
