초록
Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV)는 혈장유래의약품의 바이러스 안전성 검증을 위해 hepatitis A virus (HAV)의 모델 바이러스로 사용되어왔다. 근래에 혈액응고인자제제에 의한 HAV 감염사례가 보고되면서 혈장유래의약품의 HAV 안전성 검증에 대한 국제적인 규제가 강화되어가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HAV와 EMCV의 바이러스 불활화 공정에 대한 민감도를 평가하여, 혈장유래의약품 제조공정에서 HAV 불활화 공정의 검증법을 표준화하고자 하였다. HAV와 EMCV의 바이러스 불활화 공정에 대한 민감도를 평가한 결과 HAV가 60
Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) has been used as a surrogate for hepatitis A virus (HAV) for the validation of virus removal and/or inactivation during the manufacturing process of biopharmaceuticals. Recently international regulation for the validation of HAV safety has been reinforced because of the reported cases of HAV transmission to hemophiliac patients who had received ntihemophilic factors prepared from human plasma. The purpose of the present study was to compare the resistance of HAV and EMCV to various viral inactivation processes and then to standardize the HAV validation method. HAV was more resistant than EMCV to pasteurization (60oC heat treatment for 10 hr), low pH incubation (pH 3.9 at 25oC for 14 days), 0.1 M NaOH treatment, and lyophilization. EMCV was completely inactivated to undetectable levels within 2 hr of pasteurization, however, HAV was completely inactivated to undetectable levels after 5 hr treatment. EMCV was completely inactivated to undetectable levels within 15 min of 0.1 M NaOH treatment, however, residual infectivity of HAV still remained even after 120 min of treatment. The log reduction factors achieved during low pH incubation were 1.63 for HAV and 3.84 for EMCV. Also the log reduction factors achieved during a lyophilization process of antihemophilic factor VIII were 1.21 for HAV and 4.57 for EMCV. These results indicate that HAV rather than EMCV should be used for the virus validation study and the validation results obtained using EMCV should be precisely reviewed.
