Creative Biogene ensures high-quality adenovirus particles by optimizing and standardizing production protocols and performing stringent quality control (QC). The specific QC experiments performed vary between adenovirus particle lots.
Endotoxin Endotoxins, primarily derived from Gram-negative bacteria, can trigger adverse immune responses. Endotoxin contamination is a significant concern in adenovirus production, especially for applications in animal studies and gene therapy. Creative Biogene utilizes rigorous endotoxin detection methods to monitor the endotoxin level in our produced adenovirus particles to ensure regulatory compliance.
Sterility Creative Biogene ensures that adenovirus products are free of any bacterial, fungal and other microbial contamination.
Ad5 E1 Detection All Creative Biogene adenoviruses are PCR tested to ensure that there are no detectable E1 sequences in the particles, which could be from revertants or external E1 contamination.
RCA Assays Adenovirus products originating at Creative Biogene are guaranteed to have undetectable replication-competent adenovirus (RCA). This quality control measure is important because there is always the possibility of wild-type contamination due to revertants or environmental sources.
PFU Titering All purified adenovirus preparations are tested for infectious titer. Creative Biogene's PFU test takes a few days longer but counts true plaques in HEK cells rather than estimating PFU titers via IHC staining or TCI50 of infected cells.

The hypocretin (HCRT) gene, also known as orexin, plays a crucial role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, appetite, and neuroendocrine function. It encodes two neuropeptides: hypocretin-1 (orexin-A) and hypocretin-2 (orexin-B), which are primarily produced in the hypothalamus. These peptides bind to G protein-coupled receptors (HCRTR1 and HCRTR2) and are essential for maintaining wakefulness and preventing narcolepsy. Dysregulation of the HCRT system has been associated with sleep disorders, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases. Due to its physiological significance, the HCRT gene has been extensively studied in neuroscience and metabolic research, making it an important target for gene therapy and functional studies.

Human HCRT Adenoviral Particles are recombinant viral vectors designed to deliver the HCRT gene to target cells for research or therapeutic applications. These particles are based on adenovirus, a highly efficient gene delivery system known for its ability to infect both dividing and non-dividing cells, including neurons. Adenoviral vectors are engineered to carry the human HCRT gene under the control of an appropriate promoter, ensuring its stable expression in transfected cells. These particles are widely used in preclinical studies to investigate the role of HCRT in sleep regulation, energy metabolism, and neurological disorders. In addition, they offer the potential for gene therapy for diseases such as narcolepsy, in which HCRT deficiency is a major pathological feature.
