Comments on: Could Cells, Not Eggs, Power Vaccine Production? http://scienceprogress.org/2009/10/vaccine-production/ Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:59:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mary http://scienceprogress.org/2009/10/vaccine-production/comment-page-1/#comment-6337 Mary Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:20:40 +0000 http://www.scienceprogress.org/?p=4705#comment-6337 @Richard: not necessarily. There is a company that does carrot cell based protein production called Protalix. They just got back Phase III results on a disease treatment. But they are also talking about other proteins and possibly vaccines. The barrier there may be the anti-vax and anti-gmo cranks with new fears. @Richard: not necessarily.

The production process is potentially much faster and cheaper. However, because the cells used are usually derived from mammals, extra care must be taken to make sure that no adventitious viruses or other hazards are carried along in the production process. This is not insurmountable at all. It simply adds some additional tests to the process. Cell-based systems are the wave of the future for vaccine development.
