By Novo Nordisk Pharmatech A/S
Vaccines must be made in large quantities rapidly and cost-effectively. Aziza Manceur, Sonia Tremblay and Sven Ansorge from the Vaccine Program at the National Research Council Canada, with help from Novo Nordisk Pharmatech, discuss how production can be boosted by adding insulin to HEK293 cells to increase influenza virus yield.
