Creative Biogene ensures high-quality AAV particles by optimizing and standardizing production protocols and performing stringent quality control (QC). The specific QC experiments performed vary between AAV particle lots.
Endotoxin Endotoxins, primarily derived from Gram-negative bacteria, can trigger adverse immune responses. Endotoxin contamination is a significant concern in the production of AAV, especially for applications in animal studies and gene therapy. Effective endotoxin quality control is essential in the development and manufacturing of AAV particles. Creative Biogene utilizes rigorous endotoxin detection methods to monitor the endotoxin level in our produced AAV particles to ensure regulatory compliance.
Purity AAV purity is critical for ensuring the safety and efficacy of AAV-based applications.AAV capsids are composed of three main protein components, known as viral proteins: VP1, VP2, and VP3. These proteins play a critical role in the structure and functionality of the AAV capsid. Monitoring the VP1, VP2, and VP3 content in AAV preparations is essential for quality control in AAV production. Our AAV particles are tested for showing three clear bands of VP1, VP2 VP3 by SDS-PAGE.
Sterility The AAV virus samples are inoculated into the cell culture medium for about 5 days to detect bacterial and fungal growth.
Transducibility Upon requirement, Creative Biogene can perform in vitro or in vivo transduction assays to evaluate the ability of AAV to deliver genetic material into target cells or tissues, and assess gene expression and functional activities.
Empty vs. Full Capsids Based-on our proprietary AAV production and purification technology, Creative Biogene can always offer AAV particles with high ratio of full capsids. If required, we can also assess the ratio for a specifc lot of AAV particles by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or other methods.

AAV serotype 8 was originally isolated from non-human primates and has distinct advantages in terms of biosafety and efficacy. Unlike many other viral vectors, AAV does not cause any human disease, making them safer for therapeutic applications. AAV8 is highly effective in targeting hepatocytes, making it an attractive option for gene therapies aimed at treating liver-related diseases. It is also able to transduce muscle and some other tissues relatively efficiently. AAV8-mCherry is a recombinant viral vector that is widely used in gene therapy and biological research due to its ability to efficiently deliver genetic material into various cell types. The vector contains the mCherry gene, a red fluorescent protein encoded by the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, which ensures stable expression of the transgene in infected cells. Derived from the Discosoma species, mCherry is a widely used fluorescent protein that emits red light when excited at the appropriate wavelength. When introduced into cells via the AAV8 vector, mCherry serves as an important marker for tracking gene expression, studying cellular processes, and visualizing transduction efficiency. Due to its bright fluorescence and photostability, mCherry is particularly useful in live imaging studies, allowing researchers to observe real-time cellular dynamics.

Genetic mutations cause testosterone deficiency and infertility. Serum testosterone levels can be restored by testosterone replacement therapy. However, existing therapies have limited efficacy in restoring fertility. Here, researchers used a luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor (Lhcgr)-deficient LCF mouse model to investigate the feasibility of gene therapy to restore testosterone production and fertility. They screened several adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotypes and identified AAV8 as an efficient vector to drive exogenous Lhcgr expression in progenitor Leydig cells via interstitial injection. Significant restoration of testosterone and Leydig cell maturation was observed in adolescent Lhcgr−/− mice treated with AAV8-Lhcgr. Notably, this gene therapy partially restored sexual development, significantly restored spermatogenesis, and efficiently produced fertile offspring. Furthermore, these favorable effects could be recapitulated in adult Lhcgr−/− mice.

Here, researchers injected a commonly used AAV8-mCherry vector at a titer of 8 X 1010 genome copies (gc) into each testis of Lhcgr−/− mice. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that mCherry was expressed in the testis, but not in the liver, heart, muscle, kidney, or colon (Figure 1A), indicating that AAV8 exhibited a clear testicular tropism when injected into the testis interstitially. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of testicular tissue showed that injection of AAV8-mCherry resulted in a transient increase in transcripts of key inflammatory genes in the testis on days 1 and 3, while the expression levels of these genes returned to normal levels within 7 days (Figure 1B). Further examination of the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes 7 days after AAV8-mCherry injection showed no significant difference in lymphocyte infiltration between the injected and uninjected groups (Figure 1C). These results indicate that interstitial injection of AAV8 is safe and well tolerated.
