Abstract
Vaccines are integral to human life to protect them from life-threatening diseases. However, conventional vaccines often suffer limitations like inefficiency, safety concerns, unavailability for non-culturable microbes, and genetic variability among pathogens. Chimeric vaccines combine multiple antigen-encoding genes of similar or different microbial strains to protect against hyper-evolving drug-resistant pathogens. The outbreaks of dreadful diseases have led researchers to develop economical chimeric vaccines that can cater to a large population in a shorter time. The process development begins with computationally aided omics-based approaches to design chimeric vaccines. Furthermore, developing these vaccines requires optimizing upstream and downstream processes for mass production at an industrial scale. Owing to the complex structures and complicated bioprocessing of evolving pathogens, various high-throughput process technologies have come up with added advantages. Recent advancements in high-throughput tools, process analytical technology (PAT), quality-by-design (QbD), design of experiments (DoE), modeling and simulations, single-use technology, and integrated continuous bioprocessing have made scalable production more convenient and economical. The paradigm shift to innovative strategies requires significant attention to deal with major health threats at the global scale. This review outlines the challenges and emerging avenues in the bioprocess development of chimeric vaccines.

Abstract
This chapter describes the step-by-step methods employed by the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) for screening and producing proteins in the BacMam system. This eukaryotic expression system was selected and a screening process established in 2016 to enable production of highly challenging human integral membrane proteins (IMPs), which are a significant component of our target list. Here, we discuss our recently developed platform for identifying expression and monodispersity of IMPs from 3 mL of HEK293 cells.

Vaccination with Recombinant Baculovirus Expressing Ranavirus Major Capsid Protein Induces Protective Immunity in Chinese Giant Salamander, Andrias davidianus. Viruses 2017; 9:v9080195. [PMID: 28757575 PMCID: PMC5580452 DOI: 10.3390/v9080195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2017] [Revised: 07/20/2017] [Accepted: 07/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The Chinese giant salamander iridovirus (CGSIV), belonging to the genus Ranavirus in the family Iridoviridae, is the causative agent of an emerging infectious disease causing high mortality of more than 90% and economic losses in Chinese giant salamanders in China. In this study, a recombinant baculovirus-based vaccine expressing the CGSIV major capsid protein (MCP) was developed and its protective immunity in Chinese giant salamanders was evaluated. The recombinant Autographacalifornica nucleopolyhedrosis virus (AcNPV), expressing CGSIV MCP, designated as AcNPV-MCP, was generated with the highest titers of 1 × 10⁸ plaque forming units/mL (PFU/mL) and confirmed by Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assays. Western blot analysis revealed that the expressed MCP reacted with mouse anti-MCP monoclonal antibodies at the band of about 53 kDa. The results of IIF indicated that the MCP was expressed in the infected Spodoptera frugiperda 9 (Sf9) cells with the recombinant baculovirus, and the Chinese giant salamander muscle cells also transduced with the AcNPV-MCP. Immunization with the recombinant baculovirus of AcNPV-MCP elicited robust specific humoral immune responses detected by ELISA and neutralization assays and potent cellular immune responses in Chinese giant salamanders. Importantly, the effective immunization conferred highly protective immunity for Chinese giant salamanders against CGSIV challenge and produced a relative percent of survival rate of 84%. Thus, the recombinant baculovirus expressing CGSIV MCP can induce significant immune responses involving both humoral and cell-mediated immunity in Chinese giant salamanders and might represent a potential baculovirus based vaccine candidate for Chinese giant salamanders against CGSIV.

Abstract
The simian virus 40 polyadenylation signal (SV40 polyA) has been routinely inserted downstream of the polyhedrin promoter in many baculovirus expression vector systems (BEVS). In the baculovirus prototype Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), the polyhedrin promoter (very late promoter) transcribes its gene by a viral RNA polymerase therefore there is no supporting evidence that SV40 polyA is required for the proper gene expression under the polyhedrin promoter. Moreover, the effect of the SV40 polyA sequence on the polyhedrin promoter activity has not been tested either at its natural polyhedrin locus or in other loci in the viral genome. In order to test the significance of adding the SV40 polyA sequence on gene expression, the expression of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) was evaluated with and without the presence of SV40 polyA under the control of the polyhedrin promoter at different genomic loci (polyherin, ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt), and gp37). In this study, spectrofluorometry and western blot showed reduction of EGFP protein for all recombinant viruses with SV40 polyA, whereas qPCR showed an increase in the egfp mRNA levels. Therefore, we conclude that SV40 polyA increases mRNA levels but decreases protein production in the BEVS when the polyhedrin promoter is used at different loci. This work suggests that SV40 polyA in BEVSs should be replaced by an AcMNPV late gene polyA for optimal protein production or left untouched for optimal RNA production (RNA interference applications).

Abstract
Insect-derived baculoviruses have emerged as versatile and safe workhorses of biotechnology. Baculovirus expression vectors (BEVs) have been applied widely for crop and forest protection, as well as safe tools for recombinant protein production in insect cells. However, BEVs ability to efficiently transduce noninsect cells is still relatively poorly recognized despite the fact that efficient baculovirus-mediated in vitro and ex vivo gene delivery into dormant and dividing vertebrate cells of diverse origin has been described convincingly by many authors. Preliminary proof of therapeutic potential has also been established in preclinical studies. This review summarizes the advantages and current status of baculovirus-mediated gene delivery. Stem cell transduction, preclinical animal studies, tissue engineering, vaccination, cancer gene therapy, viral vector production, and drug discovery are covered.

Abstract
Influenza virus-like particles (VLPs) are effective vaccines against influenza infection, which can be produced either in insect cells by recombinant baculovirus (BV) infection or in mammalian cells by DNA plasmid transfection. However, VLPs produced from baculovirus/insect cells are difficult to purify due to baculovirus contamination; VLPs produced by plasmid transfection are limited by scale-up capability. In this study, a BacMam BV, in which three CMV-promoters drive the hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, and matrix of influenza virus was constructed. This baculovirus can deliver these genes into mammalian cells/hosts and subsequently influenza VLPs can be produced and secreted from transduced cells. Transduction conditions were optimized and influenza VLPs were purified from transduced 293T cells. Mice were vaccinated with BV transduction-produced VLPs, plasmid transfection-produced VLPs, and BacMam BV. Two vaccinations of each vaccine induced high hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) titers and prevented influenza virus infection. In contrast, following a single vaccination, all mice vaccinated with each vaccine had significantly lower lung viral titers compared to unvaccinated mice. Remarkably, mice vaccinated with a single dose of BV transduction-produced VLPs survived challenge, whereas mice vaccinated with one dose of BacMam BV- or plasmid transfection-produced VLPs had 60-80% survival. This finding is particularly significant for producing easily purified VLPs. The BacMam system is an alternative strategy for VLP production, which is easy to scale up and purify. Besides, BacMam BV can be used as a gene delivery vector to produce VLPs in vivo, to stimulate immune responses.

Abstract
Virus is identified as one of the obligate intracellular parasites, which only amplify in cells of specific living things. Viral vectors, which are developed by utilizing these properties, are available in the various fields such as basic research of medical biology or application of gene therapy. Our research group has studied development of viral vectors using properties of baculovirus or vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Due to the development of new baculoviral vectors for mammalian cells, it is possible to be more efficient transduction of foreign gene in mammalian cells and animals. Furthermore, pseudotype or recombinant VSV possessing the envelope proteins of hepatitis C virus, Japanese encephalitis virus or baculovirus were constructed, and characteristics of the envelope proteins or entry mechanisms of these viruses were analyzed.

Abstract
Baculovirus is an insect virus that is non-pathogenic to humans and has emerged as a promising gene therapy vector. Since solid tumor growth/metastasis critically relies on angiogenesis and hEA, a fusion protein comprising human endostatin and angiostatin, exhibits potent antiangiogenic and antitumor efficacy in mouse models; this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of baculovirus for hEA expression and antiangiogenesis-based cancer gene therapy. Toward this end, we constructed Bac-hEA that mediated transient hEA expression and Bac-ITR-hEA that exploited the adeno-associated virus inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) for prolonged hEA expression. Western blot and ELISA analyses showed that both Bac-hEA and Bac-ITR-hEA expressed hEA in transduced mammalian cells, yet Bac-ITR-hEA only marginally prolonged the hEA expression. In comparison with Bac-hEA, nonetheless, Bac-ITR-hEA significantly enhanced the hEA expression level that concurred with augmented antiangiogenic properties, as demonstrated by cell proliferation, migration and tubule network formation assays. Importantly, intratumoral injection of Bac-ITR-hEA into prostate cancer mouse models, when compared with Bac-hEA, exerted stronger antiangiogenic effects in vivo, more potently inhibited tumor growth and significantly prolonged mouse survival. This study collectively supported the notion that hEA is an effective antiangiogenic protein and proved the potential of baculovirus as a vector for antiangiogenesis-based cancer therapy, which may be combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or gene therapies using other vectors.

Abstract
Baculovirus infects insects in nature and is non-pathogenic to humans, but can transduce a broad range of mammalian and avian cells. Thanks to the biosafety, large cloning capacity, low cytotoxicity and non-replication nature in the transduced cells as well as the ease of manipulation and production, baculovirus has gained explosive popularity as a gene delivery vector for a wide variety of applications. This article extensively reviews the recent understandings of the molecular mechanisms pertinent to baculovirus entry and cellular responses, and covers the latest advances in the vector improvements and applications, with special emphasis on antiviral therapy, cancer therapy, regenerative medicine and vaccine.

Abstract
Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is well known as a feasible and safe technology to produce recombinant (re-)proteins in a eukaryotic milieu of insect cells. However, its proven power in gene delivery and gene therapy is still poorly recognized. The basis of BEVS lies in large enveloped DNA viruses derived from insects, the prototype virus being Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). Infection of insect cell culture with a virus encoding a desired transgene under powerful baculovirus promoter leads to re-protein production in high quantities. Although the replication of AcMNPV is highly insect specific in nature, it can penetrate and transduce a wide range of cells of other origin. Efficient transduction requires only virus arming with an expression cassette active in the cells under investigation. The inherent safety, ease and speed of virus generation in high quantities, low cytotoxicity and extreme transgene capacity and tropism provides many advantages for gene delivery over the other viral vectors typically derived from human pathogens.

Abstract
Baculovirus has emerged as a novel gene delivery and vaccine vector, and the demand for purified baculovirus is rising due to the increasing in vivo applications. Since the baculoviral envelope protein gp64 is a glycoprotein, we aimed to develop a concanavalin A (Con A) chromatography process, which harnessed the possible affinity interaction between gp64 and Con A, for simple and effective baculovirus purification. Throughout the purification process the virus stability and recovery were assessed by quantifying the virus transducing titers [TT, defined as transducing units (TU) per milliliter] and viral particles (VP). We found that baculovirus stability was sensitive to buffer conditions and diafiltration with a tangential flow filtration system LabScale using 300 K membranes yielded recoveries of approximately 75% in TT and 82% in VP. The diafiltered baculovirus strongly bound to the Con A column as evidenced by the low virus losses to the flow through and wash fractions. The wash steps eliminated >99% of protein impurities and elution with 0.6 M alpha-D-methylmannoside at room temperature led to the recoveries of approximately 16% in VP and approximately 15.3% in TU. The resultant VP/TU ratio was as low as 41.4, attesting the high quality of the purified virus. Further elution with 1 M alpha-D-methylmannoside recovered another 6% virus TU, yielding a cumulative recovery of approximately 21.3% in TU. These data demonstrated for the first time that Con A chromatography is suitable for baculovirus purification, and may be used for the purification of other viruses with surface glycoproteins.

Abstract
Baculoviruses are promising viral insecticides and are safe for the environment. Interaction of baculoviruses in vitro and in vivo is a basic molecular and ecological question that has practical applications in agriculture. Cellular secretion is also a fundamental property in cell-cell communication. Here, we review recent investigations on how baculoviruses interact with insect cells and insect hosts. We focus particularly on a new interaction mechanism in which a secretion from cells infected with one virus enhances infection by a second virus. We also discuss a hypothesis that the secreted signals may serve as ligands that bind to the receptors on the surface of the cells that harbor the suppressed genomes of Thysanoplusia orichalcea MNPV (ThorMNPV) in Sf21 and Spodoptera exigua MNPV (SeMNPV) in High 5 to initiate signal transduction leading to the activation of genome replication of ThorMNPV in Sf21 and SeMNPV in High 5. We also discuss how the enhanced replication of SeMNPV replication by Autographa californica MNPV (AcMNPV) in nonpermissive insect cells depends on the types of cells. Interaction of baculoviruses in insects focused on mutualism and antagonism, even though the mechanism is not clear on mutualism. The antagonism of a Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) with a Granulovirus (GV) has been extensively studied by a metalloprotein in the capsule of GV that disrupts the peritrophic membrane, a physical barrier to NPV entry to the midgut of larvae, to facilitate NPV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baculovirus is an effective vector for gene delivery into primary chondrocytes and repeated baculovirus transduction (i.e. supertransduction) appears to be promising for prolonging transgene expression, but how supertransduction may influence baculovirus-mediated gene delivery is unknown. METHODS We first investigated whether prior baculovirus transduction suppressed the ensuing transgene expression mediated by the supertransduced baculovirus, and then examined whether baculovirus triggered the expression of various cytokines. Whether interferon-alpha and -beta (IFN-alpha/beta) suppressed the transgene expression as well as the pivotal step responsible for the attenuated transgene expression were examined. RESULTS Baculovirus transduction of chondrocytes elicited an immediate yet transient expression of IFN-alpha/beta, which repressed the transgene expression in a dose-dependent manner. The attenuation was observed for transgene expression driven by different promoters and resulted neither from internalization or nuclear import of baculovirus. Moreover, the attenuation was alleviated if supertransduction was performed when IFN-alpha/beta responses diminished. Baculovirus transduction also triggered the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin (IL)-6, but not IL-1beta. Despite the induction of these responses, supertransduction of chondrocytes with a baculovirus expressing bone morphogenetic protein-2 successfully enhanced the chondrogenic differentiation and matrix synthesis. CONCLUSIONS Baculovirus transduction of primary chondrocytes elicits antiviral effects that suppress transgene expression. Nonetheless, baculovirus supertransduction comprises a feasible approach to extend transgene expression for cartilage engineering.

Abstract
Baculovirus holds great promise for the genetic modification of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, whether baculovirus transduction provokes undesired MSCs responses that might compromise their in vivo applications has yet to be examined. Hereby, we unraveled that baculovirus transduction of human MSCs upregulated the transcription of interleukin (IL)-1beta, interferon (IFN)-alpha and IL-6, but not tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IFN-gamma. However, only IL-6 secretion was detectable by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Baculovirus transduction also stimulated transient, low level upregulation of human leukocyte antigen I (HLA-I) on the human MSCs surface, yet it did not either altered the HLA-II expression or impaired the MSCs ability to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation. After transplantation into allogeneic rats, the transduced rat MSCs elicited transient, mild macrophage responses, but the cells remained tolerant as judged by the persistence of transplanted cells and absence of CD8(+) T cells infiltration. Besides, transplantation of the transduced MSCs did not provoke systemic induction of monocytes and CD8(+) T cells. This study, for the first time, explores the responses of MSCs to virus transduction and confirms the safety of transplanting baculovirus-engineered MSCs into immunocompetent animals for cell-based gene therapy.
