Abstrakt: Conditions for pseudosuspension culturing of continuous cells of the kidneys of dogs (MDCK), green marmosets (CV-1), and swine (SPEV) on two types of microcarriers (Cytogel-3 and cytolar-2) under semiproduction conditions (50 liter bioreactor) were developed on a model of reassortants of influenza viruses A and B. To standardize the conditions, native sera were replaced by growth-stimulating proteins isolated from the sera of various animals (cattle, northern deer, swine). A better adhesive capacity and more active cell proliferation on porous microcarrier cytogel-3 were observed. The highest proliferative activity of cells was observed when porcine growth-stimulating proteins were used. Influenza A virus reassortant (H3N1) was actively reproduced in MDCK cells. The reproduction of influenza B virus reassortant was similarly higher in MDCK cells, in comparison with SPEV cells; at the same time, no differences in hemagglutinin titers in the two cell cultures were observed. The pseudosuspension method of cell culturing is recommended for the preparation of influenza antigens.
