Automation of a Next-Generation Sequencing Method for Cell Line Species Identity

This webcast features: Dr. Christine Mitchell, Scientific Fellow, Analytical Development, WuXi Advanced Therapies As the gene and cell therapy market continues to expand, affordability and accelerated turnaround time (TAT) become increasingly important in the industry. Despite the escalating diversity of therapeutic modalities, the criticality of a robust cell bank remains a pivotal starting point for many biological products. The integrity of species identity for cell lines is a critical quality attribute for many cell and gene therapies, and with regulatory…

Selecting the Best Transfection Method

by BPI Contributor

When to Use Transfection Reagents, Viral Transduction or Electroporation No single delivery method is ideal for all situations, but researchers may routinely employ a suboptimal approach for the sake of familiarity or to avoid any start-up costs associated with new methods. In this white paper, we will describe three methods (chemical, electroporation and viral transduction) and highlight the Mirus Bio TransIT® and VirusGEN® transfection reagents and Ingenio® EZporator® Electroporation System, which are both easy to use and cost-effective. Additionally, we…

How Capacitance Measurement Can Improve Viral Vector and Virus-Based Vaccine Production

by Aditya Bhat

With the increasing development of viral vector and virus-based vaccines, technologies that help to manufacture and scale up these types of vaccine quickly and cost-effectively have become more critical. By accessing this special report from Aditya Bhat, a capacitance technology expert at Aber Instruments, you will find out how in-line capacitance measurement can produce a detailed fingerprint of cell culture processes and how that can benefit vaccine production. From case studies involving baculovirus, AAV, and measles, you will discover why…

Successful biosimilar development requires an outsourcing partner with the right experience

by Rich Richieri

Demand for biosimilars is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, particularly in the United States. Developing new biosimilar candidates is a challenging endeavor that requires partnerships with outsourcing partners that have deep protein science, analytics, and process engineering expertise. Avid Bioservices has successfully supported biosimilar development for nearly a decade and is further expanding its capacity to provide manufacturing services from the bench through larger-scale commercialization. Anticipating Strong Growth in Demand for Biosimilars The value of the global…

Rapid Development of Viral Vector Production Processes: Iterative Parameter Optimization

by Jakub Krakowiak, Qian Liu and Lara Nascimento-Brooks

With recent developments and successes in cell and gene therapy, the biopharmaceutical industry is facing increased demand for safe and efficient delivery systems (1). Viral vectors, including adenoviruses (AV), adenoassociated viruses (AAV), and lentiviruses (LV), are among the most common delivery agents because they infect mammalian cells efficiently. Suspension cultures have become a popular choice for robust and scalable viral manufacturing systems. Using stable cell lines that integrate all or part of the viral production elements adds further benefits by…

Ask the Expert: High-Yield mRNA Processing — From Plasmid to Highly Purified Product

by BPI Contributor

Interest in industrial-scale production of messenger RNA (mRNA) has surged amid rapid development of mRNA-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. During an 18 February 2021 Ask the Expert presentation, Aleš Štrancar (chief executive officer of BIA Separations, a Sartorius company) reminded attendees that no platform approach yet exists for mRNA production and that much remains to be learned about manufacturing such products at commercial scales. He described current production challenges and shared BIA’s efforts to devise flexible mRNA purification tools. Štrancar’s Presentation…

Ask the Expert: Leveraging Cloud Capabilities to Execute CHO Cell Culture Experiments

by BPI Contributor

Process development teams have relied for decades on benchtop bioreactors to perform mammalian-cell–culture experiments; however, doing so requires significant resources and staffing. During a 24 February 2021 presentation, Deborah Pascoe, PhD, vice president of operations at Culture Biosciences (Culture), explained how to leverage her company’s high-throughput, cloud-connected bioreactors to execute Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures with high reproducibility and scalability. Pascoe’s Presentation Pascoe described her company as an extension of a customer’s laboratory. After technology transfer, Culture and a…

Virus-Like Particle Production in Insect Cells Using the Baculovirus Expression System: Addressing Challenges across the Workflow

by BPI Contributor

This webcast features: Maya Yovcheva, R&D Scientist, Cell Biology, Chantelle Gaskin, Field Applications Scientist, Purification, and Florian Durst, Sr. Field Application Specialist, Pharma Analytics, Thermo Fisher Scientific Being part of the newer generation of vaccines, virus-like particles (VLPs) have proven to be effective in humans as well as animals. VLPs mimic the structure of the virus particles they are derived from and are highly immunogenic, but they lack the virus genomic material which gives them a favorable safety profile. The…
