Abstract

DEL PUERTO-SARDINAS, Carmen Alina et al. Seed Lot System from Neisseria meningitidis strains cultured in non-animal origin media. Vaccimonitor [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1025-0298.

During the manufacturing of biological products derived from microorganisms, stable and well-characterized cells to be used as production source should be provided. In this sense, it is essential to preserve strains using Seed Lot System as well as to have culture media ensuring an optimal growth of microorganisms and the presence of the relevant antigens. Currently, Finlay Institute from Havana works in obtaining a free- from-animal-origin-component vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y and W. Reference and Working Seed Lots from Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, W and X were developed and characterized, using culture media free from animal-origin components and in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices. New documentation was established, including: lot master files, standard operational procedures, lot records, quality control specifications and assay certificates.

Keywords : Neisseria meningitidis; vaccines; culture media.
