Why is production in so many countries possible? According to BioProcess International:
The great majority of those vaccines in the pipeline involve recombinant technologies, with bioprocessing and equipment much the same as for conventional recombinant proteins and antibodies. Vaccines in development include next-generation, follow-on versions of current products as well as new vaccines for diseases without curret available vaccines. Such diseases primarily affect populations in developing countries (e.g., dengue and malaria).
The technologies making this production possible are:
> Single-use/disposable bioprocessing systems, providing easier operation
> Modular/transportable bioprocessing facilities
> Novel expression systems/improved cell lines
> New purification technologies.
