Understand Viral Titer & Quality
December 21, 2022
The cell and gene therapy field has burgeoned in the last decade with drug candidate treatments for many different diseases. Determining the correct patient dosage has become more important than ever to extend the reach of the multi-million-dollar manufacturing runs required to generate these viral therapies.
Genome copies (GC), capsids, GC/capsid ratios, percent full, functional titering… what does it all mean? In this Transfection 101, we summarize commonly used approaches to verify that manufactured viral vectors are of high quality and functionality, appropriate for use in patients.
