ProBioGen AG, a leading biotechnology company in cell engineering and production of biopharmaceuticals, today announced that it has been granted a divisional patent on its AGE1 cell line.

The patent covers the production of Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) in duck cell lines. As these cells are free from endogenous particle-associated retrovirus activity, they are superior to current production substrates derived from chicken. The discovery has wide implications for the industrial production of one of the most promising recombinant vaccine vectors against infectious disease challenges such as HIV and malaria.

“The granted divisional patent further strengthens ProBioGen's proprietary platform that extends from innovative host cell lines to chemically defined production processes for highly attenuated viruses,” said Dr. Volker Sandig, Chief Scientific Officer of ProBioGen. An additional application on AGE1 with yet broader implications has been filed.
