Second Downstream Scale-up Run with Lentiviral Vectors Expressing Thymidine Kinase (LV-TK) with Optimized Parameters
(A) Functional titers (TU/mL ±SD) and vector quality in terms of total vps compared to functional transducing units (TUs), as well as TU recoveries from harvest for downstream processing. (B) Total particle concentration vp/mL and vp recovery from harvest for downstream processing. (C) Total protein and dsDNA concentrations (±SD) and percentage clearances for downstream processing. (D) Comparison of dsDNA clearance in the two scale-up runs measured as the concentrations of dsDNA (±SD) during downstream processing. (E) The chromatogram of the second scale-up run showing the absorbance profile (UV280 and UV254) and the elution buffer concentration percentage. (F) Chromatography functional particle titers (TU/mL) and total particle concentration vp/mL in the fractions collected. Functional titer was determined with qPCR. The total vps were calculated from p24 ELISA results.
