    Journal:  Development and scale-up of rVSV-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine process using single use bioreactor. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 24, 2023   
    Among many efforts to urgently develop a vaccine against this disease, we developed an industrial-scale closed, single use manufacturing process for V590, a vaccine candidate for SARS-CoV-2...The optimal production condition was successfully scaled up to a 2000 L Single Use Bioreactor (SUB), producing a maximum virus titer of ∼1.0e+7 plaque forming units (PFU)/mL. Further process intensification and simplification, including growing Vero cells at 2 gs per liter (g/L) of Cytodex-1 Gamma microcarriers and eliminating the media exchange (MX) step prior to infection helped to increase virus productivity by ∼2-fold.
