Retroviral Vector Production

Cell therapy innovators are increasingly turning back to retroviral vector technology for its superior transduction ability and capacity to transfer large genetic loads.

Reliable And Reproducible Viral Vector Batches

We have leveraged our extensive experience in retroviral vector design and production to establish platform processes that include next-generation fixed-bed bioreactor-based production and TFF concentration steps when required. We utilize single-use technology and optimized closed and semi-automated processes for robust, efficient retroviral vector CDMO services.

By using our established platform, you can be assured that your retroviral production process is both commercializable and scalable and that your RVVs will be manufactured to the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. Our dedication to excellence is evident in our meticulous approach to producer cell line development and master cell bank expansion, both of which ensure consistent and reproducible results.

Research Use Only (RUO) Materials

As your development partner, we collaborate with you all the way from small-scale testing needs, such as evaluation of your GOI/Expression construct, to the design of multi-constructs and production of multi-envelope, research-scale, gamma-retroviral vectors, all aimed at optimizing your initial screening. We provide the flexibility to either leverage our packaging cell lines or adapt to your preferred cell line choices. Our overarching objective is to offer comprehensive support throughout the entire development process.

Process Development

We deliver a full suite of complementary process development capabilities to support research-grade and preclinical vector production with upstream and downstream process improvements geared towards cGMP scalability and commercial readiness. Our platform process for retroviral production is reproducible and designed with commercialization in mind from the start.

We have preferred partnerships with plasmid manufacturers to ensure reliable plasmid supply with short lead times for research-grade and GMP plasmids.

Early Development

  • Expression/GOI plasmid design
  • Transient transfection
  • Producer cell line development
  • Upstream processing

Analytics

Your process is only as good as your analytics. We accelerate your program with in-house analytical assay development and phase-appropriate qualification/validation tailored to your vector and/or gene of interest. Any outsourced assays are managed by our team with special attention to scientific/technical applicability. All OOS and OOT results during testing are carefully evaluated with robust root cause analysis and appropriate CAPAs are applied to ensure that the assays continue to be fit for use.
