Figure 4From: Generation and characterization of a new mammalian cell line continuously expressing virus-like particles of Japanese encephalitis virus for a subunit vaccine candidateProduction of the JEV-VLP antigen by BJ-ME cells. (A) Confluent BJ-ME cells were incubated with the maintaining medium for 10Â days. The amount of JEV-VLP antigen produced each day (24Â h) was determined by ELISA. (B) The culture medium of confluent BJ-ME cells was refreshed every 4 to 6Â days continuously, and the amount of JEV-VLP antigen in culture supernatants harvested multiple times was determined by ELISA. (C) Effect of long-term passage on production of JEV-VLP antigen by BJ-ME cells. BJ-ME cells were passaged every 3Â days in a 75Â cm2 flask, and the amount of antigen produced by BJ-ME cells from the different passages was analyzed using ELISA.Back to article page
