AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the production efficiency of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-dose gene therapy, especially when packaged in mammalian cells, where there is insufficient efficiency.
A human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell line and its progeny are provided, which are capable of efficiently packaging rAAV by systematically transfecting cells with a plasmid containing the rAAV genome, CAP and/or REP peptides encoding AAV, and helper plasmids, and culturing and lysing the cells under appropriate conditions to harvest rAAV.
It has achieved efficient production of rAAV, and even after 90 generations of passaging, it still maintains a high yield, meeting the needs of high-dose gene therapy.
