Successful gene therapy using AAV vectors requires high titers of functional virus. A challenge in AAV production is the requirement for highly customized buffer formulations for each drug construct. In particular, thorough consideration of the buffers utilized is required in order to achieve full capsid enrichment in the final anion-exchange chromatography polishing step due to the unique capsid and transgene combination. In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the discreet, critical parameters that effect the downstream workflow for optimized AAV production.
Register for this webinar to learn about key buffer considerations for AAV full capsid enrichment.
