How single-use technologies can improve antibodies production  

Drug Discovery World

AEX chromatography has primarily been used in the polishing AEX step for the removal of impurities, such as DNA, HCP, etc., The goal of these approaches is to improve process economics by eliminating steps and the amount of reagents, water and buffer. as well as viral reduction and other product-related impurities.

Are microtaggants the key to making medicines smarter?

pharmaphorum

Many countries have introduced serialisation legislation which requires product identifiers to be affixed to each package to provide traceability throughout the distribution supply chain. However, traceability and security measures focused on the packaging level may not be enough to protect patients. Silica microtaggants.

Modernizing cell culture processes for the next wave of genomic medicine

Pharmaceutical Technology

The established method for this process is a triple transfection using three different DNA plasmids. Better transfection reagents and efforts to automate the currently highly manual and inconsistent process could also make a difference, he adds. Two-Plasmid Packaging System for Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus. 1] BioNews.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

These platforms all induce double strand cuts in the chromosomal DNA that can be sealed by the cell, leading to a specific gene disruption, or resulting in a new target site for inserting DNA segments. Reduce/eliminate chromosomal disruptions caused by double-strand DNA breaks. In one example, Choi et al.

Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

This helps ensure a high concentration of loaded capsids and adequate removal of impurities, such as host cell proteins and DNA. In AAV therapeutics, empty capsids are those that are not packaged with the therapeutic DNA. A crucial part of the AAV workflow is the purification of viral vectors.
