Summary:
Technicians assist in tissue and viral culture of Chicken Embryo Fibroblast CEF cells for vaccine production in a clean room laboratory environment.
Tissue culture is currently performed using roller bottle tissue culture vessels.
The production of the vaccine begins in the laboratories with the extraction of highly concentrated primary CEF cell suspension; this suspension is then added to a growth medium made in house by technicians.
Calculations are performed to reach a target cell amount per roller bottle vessel.
Working seed ampoules are used to infect tissue culture vessels with a target virus particle amount to achieve optimal infection.
These roller bottle viral cultures are then harvested, batched, and filled into labeled ampoules.
The disease is a highly contagious, often fatal, malignancy of poultry that affects the nerves and visceral organs and is caused by a herpesvirus.
Control is primarily by vaccination, which has resulted in a dramatic reduction in losses of this disease in flocks raised for consumption and egg laying.
Responsibilities and Key Duties:
Aseptic Technique:
All laboratory processes must be performed aseptically.
Procedures take place under a Grade A Laminar Air Flow hood in a clean room laboratory.

Weekend and shift coverage:
production typically takes four days from start to finish, and the processing times range from early morning to late evenings as cultures are infected and harvested in specific time frames.
Shift coverage can rotate unless otherwise specified during hiring.
Multiple vaccine lot productions require weekend coverage, therefore one weekend shift a month is required unless otherwise specified during hiring.
