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 is a non-enveloped Dependoparvovirus belonging to the Parvoviridae family, whose capsid contains 60 subunits of three different proteins (VP1, VP2, and VP3) that share a common C-terminus and are produced by alternative translation of the AAV cap gene. The AAV cap is the major determinant of native AAV cell/tissue tropism and is therefore a key modifiable genetic element for optimizing transduction efficiency. Each capsid subunit has nine variable regions, i.e., peptide loops protruding from the virion surface, that play a role in capsid assembly, genome packaging, cell receptor interactions, and antigenic determinants of anti-capsid cellular and humoral immune responses. Currently, more than 100 different AAV serotypes have been isolated from humans, non-human primates (NHPs), and other species, which display a wide range of tissue and cell tropisms, primarily determined by the primary attachment receptor and co-receptor specificity of each serotype. These different naturally occurring serotypes have been extensively screened for their ability to transduce a variety of target cell types and organs. One promising application of AAV-based therapeutics is the delivery of gene-editing enzymes to correct defective genes. In preclinical studies, several research groups have reported the effective use of AAV-delivered CRISPR/Cas9 technology to edit genes in animal models to treat diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, hypercholesterolemia, and urea cycle disorders. Similarly, the use of gene-editing technologies to inactivate and eliminate viral reservoirs that cause persistent/chronic infections has also recently attracted much attention. In fact, recent reports of the elimination of viral genomes using meganucleases and CRISPR/Cas9 in animal models of chronic infection with HSV and HIV, respectively, support the use of AAV vectors to treat chronic viral infections. AAV-mediated delivery of antiviral therapies is not limited to gene-editing enzymes. For example, several research groups have used AAV vectors to deliver other antiviral therapies such as RNA interference molecules and virus-neutralizing antibodies.

Hemophilia is an incurable genetic disease. Although innovative treatments such as gene therapy or bispecific antibody therapies have been introduced, there remains a large unmet need in terms of achieving long-term therapeutic effects and treatment options for patients with inhibitors. Antithrombin (AT) is an endogenous negative regulator of thrombin generation and a potent genome editing target for the sustainable treatment of patients with hemophilia A and B. In this study, researchers developed and optimized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver Cas9 mRNA as well as a single guide RNA targeting AT in mouse liver. LNP-mediated CRISPR-Cas9 delivery resulted in inhibition of AT, thereby improving thrombin generation. Both hemophilia A and B mice restored the bleeding-related phenotype. No active off-target, liver-induced toxicity, and significant anti-Cas9 immune response were detected, indicating that LNP-mediated CRISPR-Cas9 delivery is a safe and effective treatment for hemophilia.

A substantial safety concern of LNP-CRISPR is immune response or inflammation. Plasma was analyzed for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transferase (ALT), and there were few differences between the groups. Therefore, LNP-CRISPR-mAT administration did not cause liver damage. In addition, the researchers used serum from LNP-injected mice to study systemic anti-Cas9 antibody responses by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Repeated LNP-CRISPR-mAT injections did not induce anti-Cas9 immunoglobulin G (IgG) compared to LNP empty treatment (Figure 1). However, when mice were injected intravenously with AAV9-EFS-SpCas9, systemic elevated anti-Cas9 IgG was detected after 6 weeks of treatment (Figure 1). This suggests that repeated LNP-CRISPR injections are a relatively less immunogenic method than continuous AAV-mediated Cas9 expression.

Mice injected intravenously with AAV9-EFS-SpCas9 (5X1013 vg/kg) were also tested 6 weeks after treatment.Figure 1. Serum anti-SpCas9 IgG concentrations after repeated injections of LNP-CRISPR-mAT.
