This article delves into the challenges of viral vector manufacturing, a burgeoning sector driven by the demand for cell and gene therapies as well as vaccines. Emphasizing scalability and GMP compatibility, it underscores the need for well-characterized cell lines and high-quality materials. Regulatory requirements, analytical hurdles, and upstream processing are highlighted.

Downstream processing, crucial for maintaining virus infectivity and stability, is discussed. Optimization strategies to enhance recovery and streamline processes are recommended, including filtration and chromatography while minimizing shear forces.

Effective clarification methods, such as depth filtration, are suggested for efficient recovery, along with addressing challenges in removing host cell DNA (hcDNA) through DNase treatment.

To boost capacity, the article advises the use of chromatography membranes or modern resins, considering the impact of virus characteristics on chromatography steps. Challenges in elution conditions for virus particles are acknowledged and require optimization.

Learn more about how meticulous purification optimization can maximize recovery and impurity removal by leveraging scalable downstream technologies to meet regulatory and process economy requirements by accessing the full article below.
