Develop an optimized upstream AAV manufacturing workflow to substantially increase viral titers and lower production costs while preserving vector quality and in vivo efficacy.
Engineered an optimized production process integrating a redesigned plasmid system, adjusted plasmid ratios, and a novel synthetic transfection reagent.
Benchmarked the optimized platform against a standard triple-plasmid and PEI MAX workflow across multiple AAV capsids and independent runs.
Assessed crude harvest titers, replication-competent AAV (rcAAV) contamination, key quality attributes, and in vivo vector potency.
Increased crude harvest titers by approximately 10- to 33-fold across multiple AAV capsids relative to the conventional workflow.
Eliminated detectable rcAAV at 1 × 10¹⁰ vg input, whereas the standard triple-plasmid process remained rcAAV-positive under identical conditions.
Maintained key vector quality attributes and demonstrated equivalent in vivo potency compared to vectors produced using standard methods.
