Replication-Competent Lentivirus Testing

 Businesses / Posted 4 months ago by Marcia Brady / 31 views

Viral vectors are a common tool for introducing new or corrected genes into human cells tor product cellular therapy products. Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells require lentivirus to introduce the CAR gene into activated T cells. Lentiviral vectors have also been used for the treatment of hereditary disorders, such as severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Although lentiviral vectors are ideal for delivery and stable integration of genes of interest into the host cell genome, they potentially pose risks to human health, such as integration-mediated transformation and generation of a replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) capable of infecting non-target cells. In consideration of the latter risk, all cell-based products modified by lentiviral vectors and intended for patient use must be tested for RCL before treatment of the patient.
