[h=3]Abstract[/h] An alternating tangential flow (ATF) perfusion-based transient gene expression (TGE) bioprocess has been developed using human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells to produce H1-ss-np, a promising candidate for a universal influenza vaccine. Two major adjustments were taken to improve the process: 1) eliminate the interference of microbubbles during gene transfection; and 2) utilize an ATF perfusion system for a prolonged culture period. As a result, a closed-operation 9-days ATF perfusion-based TGE bioprocess was developed. The TGE bioprocess showed continuous cell growth with high cell viability and prolonged cellular productivity that achieved recombinant product level of ~270 mg/l which was more than 2 times that of 4-days base-line TGE bioprocess. In addition, the consumables cost per milligram for ATF perfusion-based TGE bioprocess was ~70 % lower than that of the base-line TGE bioprocess suggesting high cost savings potential in vaccine manufacturing. Based on the lower contamination risk, higher productivity, and cost efficiency, the ATF perfusion-based TGE bioprocess can likely provide potential benefits to many future applications in vaccine and drug manufacturing.
