Publication number: 20230348959Abstract: Methods discussed herein are directed to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, and more specifically quantitative-discrete PCR, wherein individual amplification reactions are performed on a per-payload basis among singly-captured and singly-isolated vesicles, for instance within individually sealed microwell reactors. These techniques enable post-process quality control measurements of per-vesicular manufacture loading efficiency and encapsulation efficiency of nucleic acid active ingredients in vesicular biologics, employing quantitative-discrete PCR techniques. By measuring variability of vesicular encapsulation of nucleic acids at a per-vesicular manufacture level of granularity, such techniques can enable collection of data that may be used to perform post-process formulation upon vesicular biologics, and to yield more homogenous formulations from both synthetic and biogenesis pathways.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Wayne State UniversityInventor: Thomas H.
