Development of a candidate reference material for adventitious virus detection in vaccine and biologicals manufacturing by deep sequencing

Highlights • Deep sequencing has potential as an improved adventitious virus screening method. • 15 laboratories sequenced a common reagent containing 25 target viruses. • 6 viruses were detected by all lab, the remainder were detected by 4–14 labs. • A wide range of sample preparation and bioinform...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Deep sequencing has potential as an improved adventitious virus screening method. • 15 laboratories sequenced a common reagent containing 25 target viruses. • 6 viruses were detected by all lab, the remainder were detected by 4–14 labs. • A wide range of sample preparation and bioinformatics methods is currently used. • A common reference material is essential to enable results to be compared.
