  • LARGE COMMERCIAL SCALE LENTIVIRAL VECTOR PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND VECTORS PRODUCED THEREBY
    Publication number: 20190093126
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method for increasing the yield of rLV vector particles comprising a trans gene encoding a therapeutic protein or fragment thereof is disclosed. In one approach, cells are transfected with plasmids encoding the necessary components for rLV production using a calcium chloride transfection mix at pH 7.1 wherein the calcium chloride and plasmids form a complex which is added to the cells at a constant speed. The cells are then incubated for a suitable time period wherein virus particle media is collected at least twice during the incubation period and stored in a cold storage unit, thereby reducing virus inactivation.
