Understanding the Viral Vector Production Workflow

Viral vector production is a core part of gene therapy research. Both AAV and lentiviral systems require a structured workflow that includes production, purification, quantification, and quality assessment.

Typical Production Steps

  1. Plasmid preparation
  2. Cell transfection
  3. Vector harvest
  4. Purification
  5. Titer measurement
  6. Quality assessment

Important Analytical Readouts

  • AAV titer assays
  • Lentivirus quantification
  • Residual DNA testing
  • Host Cell Protein analysis

A standardized production workflow helps improve batch consistency and data reproducibility.
