Abstract: It was to investigate the phenomenon that high cell density with low cell-specific virus yields and find out the solution. Methods:High cell density was achieved by increasing the microcarrier concentration and enhancing nutrition supply, then the effect of cell concentration at infection(CCI)and virus maintenance medium(VMM)on virus titer and cell-specific virus yield(Svy)was studied. Results:The maximum cell density was up to 1.47×107cells/mL in 12.6 g/L microcarrier culture using medium exchange strategy. Under high CCI(1×107cells/mL)condition, the Svy was up to 5.14×103 virions/cell by choosing appropriate virus maintenance medium, which is nearly twice of Svy in DMEM. Conclusion:In order to achieve higher influenza virus titer, culture conditions and nutrition demands at different stages of influenza production should be taken into consideration. The results in this work provide guidance for further development of industrial-scale vaccine production processes.
