Developing a production process for influenza VLPs: a comparison between HEK 293SF and Sf9 production platforms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Influenza virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines are one of the most promising approaches to respond to the constant threat of the emergence of pandemic strains, as they possess the potential for higher production capabilities compared to traditional vaccines made in egg-based technology. VLPs are particles produced in cell culture utilizing recombinant protein technology composed of viral antigens that are able to elicit an immune response but lack viral genetic material. Thus far, influenza VLPs have been produced in mammalian, insect and plant based platforms [1], with production in insect cells being the most explored. Baculovirus with mammalian promoters (Bacmam) have been shown to efficiently transduce mammalian cells and further express genes but are unable to replicate, efficiently repressing baculovirus (BV) production that leads to contamination downstream [2]. Influenza VLP production was performed in HEK 293SF cells using the Bacmam gene delivery system. The proposed system was assessed for its ability to produce influenza VLPs composed of Hemagglutinin (HA), Neuraminidase (NA) and Matrix Protein (M1) and compared to VLPs produced in Sf9 cells through the lens of bioprocessing.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
