The present invention provides a method for upstream optimization the large-scale parvovirus production, preferably the oncolytic protoparvovirus H-1 (H-1PV). It is based on microcarriers or macrocarriers and their respective use in suspension or fixed-bed, an optimized cell culture medium, and a medium exchange strategy. In summary, with the optimized cell culture medium and the new medium exchange strategy, the inventors established a reduction in seeded cell density and animal serum, leading to an animal serum-free harvest. The tested carriers are best suited for a high H-1PV yield, cell growth, and bead-to-bead transfer capability, wherein the inventors additionally scaled up the process from 24-well plates to Erlenmeyer, Spinner flask and iCellis nano. As a conclusion, the present invention provides a large-scale method for producing the oncolytic protoparvovirus H-1 with a high virus yield, while lowering production costs and avoiding undesired products of animal origin at the same time.

The present invention relates to a method of determining the supplier from which a test animal-derived product sample originates, the method comprising the steps of: (a) determining a test methylation profile of one or more pre-selected methylation sites within the genomic material contained in the test animal-derived product sample; and (b) comparing the test methylation profile determined in (a) with a panel of predetermined reference methylation profiles of the same biological taxon of the test animal from which the product sample derives, wherein each of the predetermined reference methylation profiles is from a different reference animal and/or different supplier, wherein if the test methylation profile of (a) is significantly similar to one of the predetermined reference methylation profiles, the test animal-derived product sample is confirmed of originating from a first supplier from which a first reference animal with the predetermined reference profile is obtained.

Abrégé

The present disclosure pertains to an in vitro method for the diagnostic classification of cancer based on the biological state of specific genomic sites. The disclosure provides a method that allows for a classification of a tumour sample obtained from a patient by analysing a multitude, preferably genome wide, collection of gene sites, combining the biological state of the analysed gene sites into a biological state pattern and comparing with pre-determined biological state patterns pertaining to different cancer types or tumour species. The disclosure is in particular useful for classifying cancer e.g. of the central nervous system, such as brain tumour samples and tumours of the spinal cord, since these are characterized by a large variety of distinct tumour species which have different prognostic values and require a developed treatment regime for each species in the clinical context. However, other cancers could similarly profit from the disclosure, for example sarcomas.
