AAV process development
Our HEKExpress® cell host’s unique efficiency in producing AAV is the result of over twenty years of innovation and fine-tuning. The highlights:
- High titers — up to 1 × 1015 vg/L
- Any serotype, any Gene of Interest
- HEK293 cells in suspension adapted in ACF
- Over 15 serotypes of AAV have been produced, such as AAV1-9, AAV-PHP.eB, AAV-PHP.Cap-B10, AAV8BP2, MyoAAV, Olig001, and retroAAV2
- Robust cells for scalable processes — up to 40 L
- cGMP compliant — fully characterized MCB
What properties make HEKExpress® such an efficient cell host?
- High viable cell densities Over 107 cells/mL without feed
-
Culture in chemically defined medium or animal component free medium
- Fast doubling time Under 24 hours
- Very low aggregation in STR
Leading know-how in HEK process optimization
Your serotype and Gene of Interest are optimally expressed, and we provide the following: high AAV productivity, a scalable process ready for transfer and speed with high throughput screening.
- DOE for process optimization at 10 mL scale
- Bioreactor runs up to 40 L scale
- Downstream process development, serotype-specific development
- Analytics development (dPCR, SEC-MALS, DLS, thermal shift…)
