Talk : Tools at Your Fingertips to improve AAV Productivity and Quality in 2024 | Wednesday 20 March, 3:50 – 4:20 PM
Talk Summary : Enhancing AAV productivity and quality is key to enable more Gene Therapy products to reach commercialization. There are several approaches to improve productivity, of which a cost-effective approach whereby early on during process development, multiple parameters can be optimized thanks to DOE at both Upstream and Downstream levels. Combining using latest generation reagents and plasmid engineering tools with DOE can have a significant and positive impact on process efficiency.
Poster Presentation:
Novel engineered pHelper plasmid to improve yield and quality of several AAV serotypes in suspension cell culture systems
Harnessing rAAVs as viral vectors for therapeutic transgene delivery still requires improvements in yields and specificity to lower vector doses, and therefore manufacturing cost, as well as to improve patient safety. To this end, our research is focused on developing novel technologies to ensure manufacturing of high yielding rAAV particles using transient transfection, as well as enhancing features of rAAV vectors that act on the overall size of packaged material and specificity of delivery. Here we present our state-of-the art approach to design new helper plasmids (phelpers) with the aim of improving both the infectiosity (TU/mL) and the quality (full/empty ratio) of the viral particle obtained from suspension cultures. We took the opportunity to exploit our proprietary DNA assembly method technology to explore the synergies of multiple genetic features modularly assembled in synthetic plasmids. Comparison of the biological activity of several versions of rationally designed pHelpers led us to identify the optimal configuration able to outperform existing helper plasmids in every tested bioproduction conditions. Our expertise in DNA plasmid design and assembly together with our scalable transfection solutions for rAAV manufacturing gives us the potential to improve both productivity and specificity of gene therapy products.
