cGMP CAR-T Retrovirus Production Service

Q: What are the key differences between retrovirus and lentivirus vectors for CAR-T therapy?

The primary difference is that retrovirus vectors only infect dividing cells, while lentivirus vectors can infect both dividing and non-dividing cells. Retrovirus vectors have a simpler genome structure and are generally more cost-effective to produce. Lentivirus vectors offer a potentially safer integration profile with less risk of insertional mutagenesis. Both are effective for T cell engineering, with retrovirus vectors having a long history of successful use in approved CAR-T therapies.

Q: Can you accommodate custom CAR constructs and specific vector designs?

Yes. Our flexible production platform can accommodate a wide range of CAR constructs and vector designs. We work closely with your team to understand your specific requirements and optimize our processes accordingly. Our scientists have extensive experience with various CAR formats, including second and third-generation designs, as well as different promoter and marker gene configurations.

Q: How do you ensure the stability of retroviral vectors during storage and transportation?

We offer several formulation options optimized for retrovirus stability, including cryopreservation in appropriate cryoprotectants. Our vectors are typically stored at -80°C, and we provide validated stability data demonstrating retention of titer and functionality for at least 12 months under these conditions. For transportation, we use validated shipping containers with temperature monitoring to ensure product integrity throughout the supply chain.

Process of CGMP Retrovirus Production

The process of CGMP retrovirus production starts with the custom design of the retroviral vector, incorporating the CAR gene and necessary regulatory elements. Stable producer cell lines are developed and cultured under strict cGMP conditions, followed by the transfection of these cells to produce retroviral particles. These particles are harvested, clarified, and undergo advanced purification techniques like filtration or ultracentrifugation to remove impurities. Comprehensive quality control testing is performed to ensure viral titer, purity, and safety, including checks for replication-competent retrovirus (RCR). The final product is cryopreserved for long-term storage, and all batches are fully documented to meet regulatory standards, ensuring readiness for clinical and commercial use in CAR-T therapies.

Customer Reviews

"Using Creative Biolabs' cGMP CAR-T Retrovirus Production Service in our research has significantly improved the reproducibility of our CAR-T cell manufacturing process. We previously struggled with batch-to-batch variability in viral titer from other suppliers, which directly impacted transduction efficiency and experimental timelines. " Dr. Samanth

"The seamless transition from research-scale to clinical-grade material has been a key benefit. We had optimized our CAR construct using their research-grade retrovirus and were concerned about changes in performance when scaling up. However, the cGMP material demonstrated equivalent transduction efficiency and CAR expression, allowing our project to maintain its timeline. " Dr. Jenni
