A method of making a vaccine using animal derived component free (ADCF)
cell culture technology, including the steps of attaching ADCF-adapted
cells to a microcarrier including an attachment mechanism for attaching
filipodia of the cells, the microcarrier being in a culture, growing the
cells in ADCF maintenance media, infecting the cells with vaccine media,
producing virus within the cells, and harvesting the virus. A vaccine
produced by the above method in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A
vaccine production structure of ADCF-adapted cells removably attached to
microcarrier beads including an attachment mechanism for attaching
filipodia of the cells.
