CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

     FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The present disclosure relates to the field of biotechnology, more particularly, it relates to a live attenuated flavivirus vaccine composition and the method of preparing the same. The present disclosure further relates to an improved methodology in the field of live attenuated flavivirus vaccine production. 
     BACKGROUND 
     The flavivirus genome consists of single stranded, positive sense, RNA molecule of 11 kilobases, containing single open reading frame. The RNA is translated into a polyprotein that is processed into at least 10 gene products: 3 structural proteins—Nucleocapsid or Core (C), Premembrane (prM), &amp; Envelope (E) &amp; 7 non-structural (NS) proteins—NS1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4A, 4B, &amp; 5. (Lindenbach B D, et al., In: Fields Virology. Edited by Knipe D M, Howley P M, Griffin P E, et al. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer, Lippencott Williams and Wilkins; 2007. pp. 1101-1152). A number of these flaviviruses use arthropods (e.g., biting ticks and/or mosquitoes) as a means for transmission to virus recipients. Such arthropod-borne viruses (i.e., arboviruses) constitute a major worldwide health concern due to their highly pathogenic nature in humans. (Fernandez-Garcia M D, et al., Cell Host Microbe, 2009, 5:318-328). More specifically, human arbovirus pathogens include yellow fever (YF), Japanese encephalitis (JE), dengue (DEN), West Nile (WN) and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) viruses that exist in nature in life cycles which involve mosquito or tick vectors and avian and/or mammalian competent reservoir hosts. (Gubler D, et al., In: Fields Virology. Edited by Knipe D M, Howley P M, Griffin P E, et al. 5th ed. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer, Lippencott Williams and Wilkins; 2007. pp. 1153-1252). 
     Yet, Dengue virus (DENV) have become the most important human arbovirus worldwide with estimates of as many as 500 million dengue infections occurring annually, resulting in more than 2 million cases of severe disease known as dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome and 21000 deaths. There are four serotypes of dengue virus DENV1 DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4). 
     Numerous methods are known for producing live attenuated recombinant flavivirus preparations for vaccine and other purposes. Compositions and methods useful in freezing, lyophilizing, or otherwise storing viable virus preparations for laboratory or vaccine use in order to preserve their activity are also known. 
     The aqueous compositions of flaviviruses do not allow good viral stability in the long term and at a temperature above 5° C. By way of example, the bulk aqueous compositions of the YF-DEN (yellow fever-dengue) chimera lose more than 4 log, stabilized in liquid after storage for 1 day at 37° C. Now, the thermostability represents a serious problem in subtropical Dengue-endemic countries where transport under cold-chain conditions is difficult. 
     Lyophilization is a common mode of stabilization of vaccines. However, lyophilization causes loss in virus potency. Vaccines lose potency over time and the rate of potency loss is temperature-dependent. Live viruses are susceptible to osmotic, thermal and vacuum shocks. Enveloped viruses possess a lipid bilayer, which is considered as the less stable virus component because of its high fragility. 
     Live viruses are susceptible to various stresses during lyophilization steps like freezing, primary drying, secondary drying that could affect the physico-chemical stability of viruses. Owing to their structure, loss of potency during freeze-drying can be due to protein destabilization (e.g. unfolding, degradation, and aggregation), nucleic acid degradation, lipid layer alteration (e.g. phase transition, mechanical damage) and stresses related to changes in the internal (ice formation) and external (pH and osmolarity change) virus environment. The dehydration step of lyophilization results in collapse of the hydrogen bond structure of proteins which is accompanied with increased mobility of amino acid components of virus epitopes. It has been reported that in some cases lyophilization causes up to 40% loss in virus potency. 
     Though a lot of information is available on stress mechanisms and stabilization strategies of pharmaceutical peptides, proteins and DNA during lyophilization, due to the molecular complexity of viruses, different destabilization pathways and lack of analytical techniques permitting measurement of physico-chemical changes in the antigen&#39;s structure during and after lyophilization mean that viruses constitute a particular lyophilization challenge. The destabilization mechanisms as well as protection mechanisms for live, attenuated viral vaccines during lyophilization are not well known. 
     Hansen et al 2015 (Freeze-drying of live virus vaccines: A review, Hansen et al., Vaccine 33 (2015) 5507-5519) discloses a compilation of several freeze dried virus vaccine formulation (s) wherein majority of the formulations mention about preferential use of sugar alcohol/protein additive (i.e. Sucrose+Trehalose, Sorbitol, Hydrolyzed gelatin, Lactalbumin hydrolysates) for obtaining a lyophilized virus vaccine. 
     Following flavivirus vaccine formulations have been previously reported—1) Sorbitol, Trehalose, Urea, 2) Lactose, Sorbitol, HSA, 3) Lactose, Mannitol, HSA; 4) Poloxamer, Human Albumin, Trehalose, PBS; 5) Trehalose, Recombinant HSA, F127 (polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block copolymer). 
     In the case of HSA, the inclusion of these materials may raise potential safety concerns if these materials are derived from at-risk human or animal sources. Such added proteins are of concern for two main reasons. The first concern arises from the potential for animal- and human-derived protein to contain one or more adventitious agents. The second concern arises from the potential for animal- or human-derived protein to elicit an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. Also, previously reported lyophilized vaccine formulation uses proteins which, even if produced using processes supporting high yields, have a cost implications for formulations. “For a vaccine to be broadly adopted in low income regions it is crucial to keep the cost of vaccine and its components such as stabilizers low. It is also crucial from the regulatory and safety point of view that excipients and stabilizers used should contain neither substances of animal origin nor contain animal component. Animal-derived compounds represent a potential danger due to the possible contamination with the scarpie-prion-protein (PrPSC) and the new variant of the Creutzefeld-Jakob disease (vCJD). 
     Nonionic surfactants used in pharmaceutical formulations include Triton™ X-100, Pluronic® F-68, F-88, and F-127 (poloxamers), Brij 35 (polyoxy-ethylene alkyl ether), polyoxyl stearate 40, Cremophor® EL, and alpha-tocopherol TPGS. Each of these surfactants have in common the fact that they all contain polyoxyethylene moieties and thus to a greater or lesser extent, exhibit a similar problem, in that the polyoxyethylene moiety auto oxidizes to produce reactive peroxides, which causes an increase in unwanted protein immunogenicity. (Refer Edward T. Maggio et al; Polysorbates, peroxides, protein aggregation, immunogenicity—a growing concern; Journal of Excipients and Food Chemicals 3(2):46-53; 2012). 
     PVP has been reported to destabilize live attenuated virus formulations. (Refer: JA White et al; Development of a stable liquid formulation of live attenuated influenza vaccine; Vaccine Volume 34, Issue 32, 12 Jul. 2016, Pages 3676-3683; 2016). 
     Trehalose is costly; it has to be combined with other sugars and protein additives (Gelatin) to achieve stability. Also, other stabilizers are better than trehalose for enhancing shelf life stability of a lyophilized vaccine. 
     Sorbitol has a low glass-transition temperature (Tg)(−1.6 Deg C.), therefore cannot be used as a main formulation component. The low Tg of sorbitol limits its use. Sorbitol has to be combined with other sugars and protein additives (Gelatin) to achieve stability. 
     Typically, recombinant viruses have been stored as freeze-dried pellets containing hydrolysates of casein and/or collagen in phosphate-buffered physiological saline (PBS). These pellets are then re-hydrated in a pharmaceutically acceptable solution such as 0.4-0.9% NaCl. However, there are significant disadvantages associated with such formulations and are known in the art. Among these are incompletely defined components, complex preparation procedures, high cost, and inability to maintain certain desired characteristics of the virus. 
     Flavivirus vaccine formulations developed previously has been stable at 2-8 deg C. for; 6 months, 25 deg C. for 7 days and at 37 deg C. for 1-2 days. There remains a need for developing formulations that comprise of minimum number of excipients and impart long term thermostability to flavivirus vaccines, in particular the live attenuated recombinant/chimeric Dengue viruses. 
     Such compositions/formulations and process for preparing of the same are described herein.

     A) Brief Description of NIH Recombinant Strains/its Construction: 
     All the activities related to generation of attenuated vaccine strains of all the four dengue virus serotypes (DEN 1, DEN 2, DEN 3, &amp; DEN 4) explained below have been conducted at NIH, US. Contents of WO2002095075 and WO2008022196 are incorporated herein in entirety. 
     Origin of the Gene 
     
         
         1. Each of the attenuated strain of dengue virus serotype 1-4 (rDEN1Δ30, rDEN2/4Δ30(ME), rDEN3Δ30/31 &amp; rDEN4Δ30) has been developed by deletion of around 30 nucleotides (Δ30) (additional 31 nucleotide (Δ31) in case of DEN-3) from the non-translational 3′ end of the wild type strains. The Δ31 mutation can also be generated alone to discern the contribution of either Δ30 or Δ31 in the combined Δ30/31 deletion mutation. 
         2. The DEN 2 virus serotype has been developed by replacing the M and E protein of the attenuated DEN 4 serotype with that of DEN 2 M and E protein. 
         3. Structurally all the four strains are enveloped positive sense RNA viruses of 35-50 nanometer size. 
         4. The rDEN1Δ30-1545 strain used herein encodes a single Lys→Arg mutation at amino acid residue number 484 (A1545G mutation) in the viral polyprotein. 
         5. The rDEN2/4Δ30(ME)-1495, 7163 strain used herein encodes a Ser→Phe mutation at amino acid residue number 186 (C1495T mutation) and a Leu→Phe mutation at amino acid residue number 112 (A7163C mutation) in the viral polyprotein. 
         6. rDEN3Δ30/31 includes the original Δ30 deletion and a non-contiguous 31 nucleotide deletion that removes both the original TL-2 and TL-3 structures. The resultant rDEN3Δ30/31-7164 strain used herein encodes a Val→Ala mutation at amino acid residue number 115 (T7164C mutation) in the viral polyprotein. 
         7. The rDEN4Δ30-7132, 7163, 8308 strain used herein encodes a Thr→Ile mutation at amino acid residue number 102 (C7132T mutation), a Leu→Phe mutation at amino acid residue number 112 (A7163C mutation) and a Lys→Arg mutation at amino acid residue number 249 (A8308G mutation) in the viral polyprotein.

B) Transformation Procedure:
 
     For the generation of dengue virus vaccine strains essentially the following steps were followed—
     1. Plasmid containing full length cDNA copy of the wild type DEN virus was created by generation of short DNA segments using reverse transcriptase and PCR. Fragments so obtained were appropriately ligated to generate an intact double stranded DNA comprising of the full length genomic cDNA strand of the wild type DEN that was cloned in a plasmid.   2. Δ30 mutation was inserted by mutating a sub fragment of the 3′UTR and replacing the 3′UTR of the wild type DEN with the sub fragment containing the Δ30 region. Specific mutations were introduced by site specific PCR mutagenesis.   3. For the generation of DEN 2 vaccine strain structural genes M and E, of DEN 2 were cloned in plasmid and used to replace the structural genes in the DEN 4 cloned plasmid containing the Δ30 mutation. For the generation of DEN 3 vaccine strain two deletions of 30 and 31 nucleotides was introduced in the wild type clone.   4. Genome length capped RNA transcripts were synthesized from linearized plasmids using AmpliCap SP6 Message Maker Kit (EpiCentre Technologies, Madison) and the RNA purified using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif.). Vero cells (C6/36 for dengue 3) were transfected with purified RNA transcripts using DOTAP liposomal transfection reagents (Roche, Indianapolis, Ind.) to recover desired virus. Rescued viruses were subjected to amplification, terminal dilution cloning and final amplification for the generation of seed virus in Vero cells. Details on number of cycles of amplification and terminal dilution undertaken for each strain are tabulated below in table 2.

     Example 1 
     Multiple Harvesting vs. Single Harvest 
     Certain experiments were performed to initially identify the method of manufacturing the immunogenic composition suitable for preclinical and clinical testing and use of flavivirus immunogenic compositions or vaccines were identified. In some exemplary methods, live, attenuated recombinant/chimeric dengue viruses were used as an exemplary flaviviruses in various compositions for pre-clinical and clinical testing. The candidate dengue vaccine strains were supplied by National Institute of Health (NIH), USA. 
     The process for manufacturing live attenuated chimeric/recombinant tetravalent dengue (DEN) vaccine composition comprises any subset or all of the following steps:
     1. Vero cells were revived and adapted to grow in Minimum essential medium (MEM) with Hanks salt solution and 10% Fetal bovine serum (FBS);   2. Vero cells were initially amplified in tissue culture flasks (TCF with 175 cm 2  surface area available for cell growth) producing Master banks and Working banks of Vero cells.   3. Cryopreserved cells from the working cell bank were revived, amplified and further passaged in roller bottles (RBs) (850 cm 2  surface area available for cell growth) and incubated at 37±1° C. &amp; 0.7 RPM rolling speed to obtain monolayers.   4. Vero cell monolayers in roller bottles were infected with working seed of dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4 at 0.01 MOI   5. All roller bottles were incubated at 34±1° C. for 20 min.; and volume top up to 120 ml per RB using Minimum essential medium (MEM) with Hanks salt solution and 2% Fetal bovine serum. Further all roller bottles were incubated at 34±1° C. for 2 days and 0.7 RPM rolling speed.   6. On day 2 monolayers in roller bottles were washed with fresh virus medium devoid of fetal bovine serum to remove traces of FBS and were incubated at 34±1° C. &amp; 0.7 RPM rolling speed for 3 days.   7. On 5 th  day post infection the cell supernatant from all the infected roller bottles was harvested and bottles re-fed with fresh virus medium comprising MEM with Hanks salt solution additionally containing Dextrose, L-Glutamine and Sodium Bicarbonate and is devoid of fetal bovine serum;

     From day 4, the infected RBs were harvested set wise (set 1 to 4) on respective days. After harvesting, the RBs were re-fed with fresh virus medium-VM, and incubated at 34° C. till next harvest. Also a single harvest of supernatant was collected on day 6 (set 5) &amp; day 7 (set 6) respectively. 
     These samples were tested for virus titers (CCID 50 ) by Spearman Karber method.

     The growth curve obtained with Dengue Virus Serotype 1 (DEN 1) showed that multiple harvesting on day 5, 7, 9 &amp; 11 gave good virus titers and hence would be the choice for further batches (Refer  FIG.  4   ). 
     One more trial on multiple harvests versus single harvest was conducted using 18 RBs for Den 2, 3 &amp; 4.

     Refer Figure-5 for Log Yield Titers of DEN 2, 3, 4 Virus using 90 roller bottles (Multiple Harvest vs. Single Harvest) 
     The cumulative yield of multiple harvests from single batch was much higher (around 0.4 to 0.6 log) than yield obtained by single harvest. As 0.3 log is equivalent to double of absolute value; this difference is more significant. Thus, the approach of multiple harvesting is more beneficial and preferred over single harvest. 
     Example 2 
     Dengue virus is grown on Vero cells. Thus it is required to remove impurity from the harvest. Impurities like Host cell DNA is treated with Benzonase. 
     Effect of Benzonase Concentration and Temperature on Cellular DNA Content and Virus Titer 
     
         
         1. Multiple harvests were taken and processed separately to obtain clarified monovalent virus pools (CMVPs). 
         2. These multiple harvests are clarified through 6μ+0.45μ filter and treated with Benzonase to degrade cellular DNA. 
         3. Various experiments were performed to identify the ideal Benzonase concentration and temperature for treating harvest. 
       
    
     In this experiment Benzonase was added at four different concentration 500 units/liter, 1250 units/liter, 2500 units/liter and 5000 units/liter at 34±1° C. for 2 hours. It was observed that at 1250, 2500 and 5000 units/liter concentration of Benzonase, there was optimum degradation of DNA. Based on results 1250 units/liter was selected as working concentration. 
                     TABLE 7                  Effect of Benzonase concentration on DNA content (ng/ml)                                         Control   500 U/L   1250 U/L   2500 U/L   5000 U/L               Day 5   127   54   5   6   4       Day 7   310   36   7   9   3       Day 9   169   19   2   1   5                    
Refer  FIG.  6   : Effect of Benzonase Concentration on DNA Content
 
Refer  FIG.  7   : Effect of Temperature on Cellular DNA Content and Virus Titer
 
     The dengue virus is sensitive to long time of temperature exposure so short period of exposure was used in the experiment i.e 2 hours at different temperature. It was observed that there was loss in titer at 37° C. while DNA content was low. At 34° C. there was no loss in virus titer and DNA content was low. While at 25° C. and 2 to 8° C. there was no loss in virus titer as well as DNA degradation was also less. Thus 34° C. was selected for process. 
     Example 3: Filtration &amp; Concentration 
     
         
         1. Dengue viruses are grown on Vero cells. Thus it is required to remove impurity from the harvest. 
         2. Impurities like Host cell DNA, host cell protein, residual BSA and residual Benzonase. 
         3. Tangential flow filtration (TFF) is a process which we used to remove these impurities. 
         4. Benzonase treated harvest is subjected to TFF for removal of impurities. 
       
    
     In the initial experiments TFF was done using Millipore V screen cassette of 300 KD and Pall T series 300 KD. It was observed that there is virus loss of ≥3.5 log in permeate. Thus it was planned to change the cassette size to 100 KD. During these experiments it was observed that in Millipore cassette there was no virus in permeate. 
     After doing various trials of TFF based on results, 100 KD V screen Merck Millipore cassettes with only 10×concentration process which gave us desirable product. Virus is concentrated to reduce the requirement of storage space for bulk vaccine and removal of impurities. Based on below table it is clear that there was no significant loss in virus titer and significant removal of Host cell DNA after Benzonase treatment and TIFF.

     Study of Various Stabilizers and Optimization of Stabilizer Formulation 
     Stability of live, attenuated flavivirus immunogenic compositions were tested as a function of potency loss using various stabilizing formulations (e.g., titer loss or Log 10  PFU/dose). 
     Dengue monovalent bulks were formulated using different stabilizer combinations as illustrated in table 11 and 12. The principal components of these stabilizers were Gelatin, Sorbitol, Sucrose, Glycine, Phosphates (KH 2 PO 4 , K 2 HP 4 ), Glutamate, Lactalbumin hydrolysate (LAH) and amino acids as L-Histidine, L-Arginine hydrochloride, L-Alanine, Tricine etc.

     All these formulations were subjected for thermal stability study at 37° C. for 7 days. The samples were tested for infectivity titers by CCID 50 , intermittently at 0, 1, 3, 5 &amp; 7 days. 
     The results of infectivity titers of the various liquid formulations showed significant drop followed by complete loss (after 1 to 5 days) in respective dengue virus titers. 
     This failure of liquid formulation to retain stability prompted to attempt for lyophilized formulations. The dengue monovalent bulks containing Gelatin+Sorbitol+Stabilizer II (Stabilizer E) were lyophilized and subjected for thermal stability study at 37° C. for 7 days. Samples were tested for infectivity titers by CCID 50 , intermittently at 0, 1, 3, 5 &amp; 7 days. Results of infectivity titers showed better stability profile as compared to liquid formulations and significantly retained the virus titers. Thus, the approach of lyophilization of dengue monovalent formulation successfully overcame the problem of poor stability &amp; found significant reduction of loss in virus titers. 
     Also another StabilizerG comprising of Sucrose+Glycine was tried out; and was excellent in form of lyophilized formulation for all four dengue viruses. Samples were tested for infectivity titers by CCID 50 , intermittently at 0, 1, 3, 5 &amp; 7 days. Results of infectivity titers showed better stability profile as compared to other stabilizers e.g. Gelatin+Sorbitol+stabilizer II. Also, it is easy to prepare and use; since it is sourced from non-animal origin.

     With reference to all above results of stability study, the better stability profile was obtained with LYO 2 (Sucrose &amp; Glycine). Hence, the stabilizer composition of Sucrose &amp; Glycine was further optimized to get more stable formulation. 
     Example 5 
     Lyophilization Conditions 
     For dengue vaccine development initially we have tried various different stabilizers formulations for liquid vaccine, but it was found that virus does not remain stable in liquid formulation and there was significant titer loss with liquid formulation within 5 days stored at 37° C. Liquid formulation doesn&#39;t work for dengue vaccine. So we further decided to carry out next trials of dengue vaccine bulk using lyophilisation. 
     Different lyophilisation trials were planned and carried out on Dengue monovalent as well as tetravalent bulk to study suitability of stabilizer for vaccine formulation and stability of all four virus serotypes in tetravalent mixture during storage at low temperature. 
     Our study trials showed that virus remains more stable in lyophilized form than in liquid form and no virus titer loss was observed after lyophilisation as illustrated in example 4. 
     We opted for lyophilized form dengue vaccine to obtain better stability of the product. Lyophilisation trials were carried out by using Dengue CMVP-bulk containing Gelatin-Sorbitol or Sucrose-Glycine as stabilizers as illustrated in example 4. As gelatin is of porcine origin and nowadays there are some ethical issues for its use in vaccine. Also complexity in its preparation which requires hydrolysis of gelatin at high temperature. With use of Gelatin-Sorbitol stabilizer no consistency in infectivity titers of all four serotypes and considerable virus loss was observed from thawing to lyophilisation step. 
     After some lyophilisation trials of dengue bulk with Gelatin+sorbitol+stabilizer II we shifted to Sucrose+Glycine as illustrated in example 4 and the lyophilisation trials showed better virus stability for LYO 2 formulation as compared to LYO 1 formulation.

     In Trial No. 1 to 7 lyophilization cycle duration was changed from standard cycle of 56 Hrs. The reduction in the hours of lyophilization cycle had an effect on titer loss and moisture content. There was no major loss in virus titer however; moisture content increased from 2.50% to 3.34% w/w as there was reduction in the cycle time. Hence, the lyophilization cycle duration was set around 56 Hrs.

     Aforementioned thermal stability results for lyophilized monovalent formulations containing varying concentrations of sucrose and glycine stabilizers; indicate that the concentration of both sucrose &amp; glycine plays major role in maintaining the virus infectivity titer. 
     Comparatively more variation in virus titers was observed with SG1 &amp; SG2 formulations. No significant difference was observed with SG3, SG4, SG 5, SG 6, formulations in all four serotypes. However, SG3 i.e. 5% Sucrose &amp; 5% Glycine formulation was the choice of stabilizer composition for further batches.

     Stability Data of Dengue Tetravalent Vaccine, Live Attenuated (Recombinant, Lyophilized) 
     Dengue Tetravalent Vaccine (DTV)(live, attenuated, Recombinant) having a combination of serotypes (DEN-1, DEN 2, DEN-3, DEN-4) stabilized using sucrose-glycine (SG) composition as enclosed in Example 6 and further lyophilized according to example 5 in 3 ml tubular USP type-1 glass vials. Container closure system consists of bromobutyl rubber stoppers and flip-off aluminium and plastic caps seals. 
     The stability and quality of SG-stabilized vaccine was evaluated in the above-said container closure system for following studies in line with ICH requirement to support the expiry period of DP. 
     Stability indicating parameters for long-term/real time stability studies were following: 
     1. Virus titers of each serotype 
     2. pH 
     3. Moisture content
