| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Viral safety is a critical issue for cell-based products. Their starting materials (human cells or tissues in most of cases), intermediates, and final products are fragile cells or tissues, meaning that conventional treatments of virus inactivation or removal cannot be applied. NAT (nucleic acid amplification test) is a concise, quick, and highly sensitive method to detect viral nucleotides, but not suitable for comprehensive detection of viruses. Therefore an alternative virus test is needed due to the speific properties of cell-based products. To address this issue, we established a pipeline for detection of adventitious viruses in cell stock/cell bank using next generation sequencing (NGS) method. Combination of virus tests using NGS and NAT will ensure viral safety in cell-based products, although there are still several points to be improved in future.
