Capsid Content Analysis Service
During the production of viral vectors, there exists a population of capsids that have failed to package the vector DNA. These empty capsids can represent up to 90% of the crude harvest for rAAV vector preparations. In addition, incomplete encapsidation is also observed, leading to capsids containing truncated vector genomes or capsids that contain illegitimate, non-vector DNA (from plasmids, cells, or helper viruses). While their impact on the efficacy of gene therapy is not fully understood, these capsids are considered an undesirable quality attribute. They are a source of unnecessary, potentially antigenic material, which could elicit an unwanted immune response in the patient. For example, in a clinical study for hemophilia B, capsid-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes were implicated in an adverse immune response after successful expression of human coagulation factor IX using recombinant AAV2-mediated gene transfer. Therefore, the capsid content (ratio of empty to full capsids) is an important attribute to monitor in viral vector preparations.
Overall solution
CD BioSciences offers the following capsid content analysis methods to meet the specific needs of different customers.
AUC: Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a powerful tool to distinguish and quantify different AAV species by either mass (sedimentation velocity) or density (sedimentation equilibrium).
TEM (cryoTEM): Cryogenic TEM is a method where the biological specimens are vitrified by rapid freezing in liquid ethane thereby preserving their native structure.
