Viral Recombination

Viral Recombination

Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Downstream Processing

Downstream Processing

Downstream processing begins once fermentation is complete and involves a series of steps to recover and purify products such as acids, vitamins, antibiotics, or proteins.Cell HarvestingFor example, for intracellular protein-based products, the first step is harvesting the cells. This is typically achieved using centrifugation or filtration to separate the cells from the liquid phase.Cell Disruption for Intracellular ProductsIf the target product is intracellular, the harvested cells must be...

To demonstrate VLP processing based solely on size-selective precipitation and filtration.

Main Methods:

A dual-stage CFF setup utilizing 2 μm/300 kDa MWCO membranes.
Integration of selective VLP precipitation and diafiltration steps.
Ultrafiltration for achieving target VLP concentration.

Main Results:

The dual-stage CFF system effectively integrated VLP precipitation, washing, and isolation.
The setup demonstrated efficient contaminant removal and product accumulation.
High productivity was maintained compared to single-stage CFF systems.

Conclusions:

The dual-stage CFF approach offers a significant advancement in standardized VLP purification.
