In one embodiment, the sample is a lentiviral vector sample. In one embodiment, the sample is an adenovirus vector sample. In one embodiment, the sample is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) sample. In one embodiment, the mass of the modifying factor of the sample is m B This is the nucleic acid mass of the sample. In one embodiment, the molar mass of the modifying factor M of the sample is... B This is the molar mass of the nucleic acid in the sample.
[0006] definition particle The particles may be components of the liquid sample. Such particles may be molecules, nanoparticles, virus-like particles, liposomes, emulsions, bacteria, and colloids of various types and sizes. The size of these particles may range from nanometers to several microns.
[0007] Analysis of polymer or particle species in solution Analysis of polymer or particulate species in solution can be achieved by preparing a sample in a suitable solvent and then injecting a certain amount of it into a separation system such as a liquid chromatography (LC) column or field flow fractionation (FFF) channel that separates the various particulate species contained in the sample into their various components. Once separated, generally based on size, mass, or column affinity, the sample can be subjected to analysis by light scattering, refractive index, ultraviolet absorption, electrophoretic mobility, and viscosity response.
[0008] light scattering Light scattering (LS) is a non-invasive technique for evaluating the properties of polymers and a wide range of particles in solution. Two types of light scattering detection, static and dynamic, are commonly used to evaluate polymer properties.
[0009] Dynamic light scattering Dynamic light scattering is also known as quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). In DLS experiments, the time-dependent variation of the scattered light signal is measured using a fast photodetector. DLS measurements can be used to determine the diffusion coefficient of a molecule or particle, which can then be used to calculate the hydrodynamic radius of the molecule or particle.
[0010] static light scattering Static light scattering (SLS) encompasses various techniques, including single-angle light scattering (SALS), dual-angle light scattering (DALS), low-angle light scattering (LALS), and multi-angle light scattering (MALS). SLS experiments generally involve measuring the absolute intensity of scattered light from a sample in a solution irradiated by a narrow beam of light. Such measurements are often used to reveal the size and structure of sample molecules or particles for appropriate types of particles / molecules, and, combined with knowledge of the sample concentration, to determine the weight-average molar mass. In addition, the nonlinearity of the scattered light intensity as a function of the sample concentration can be used to measure interactions and coupling between particles.
[0011] Multi-angle light scattering Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) is a SLS technique for measuring light scattered at multiple angles by a sample. It is used to determine both the absolute molar mass and average size of molecules in a solution by detecting how they scatter light. Collimated light from a laser source is most frequently used, in which case the technique can be called multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS). The term "multi-angle" refers to the detection of scattered light at different discrete angles, measured, for example, by moving a single detector over a range including a specific selected angle, or by an array of detectors fixed at specific angular positions.
[0012] MALS measurements require a set of auxiliary elements. Of these, the most important is a collimated or focused beam (usually from a laser source producing a monochromatic collimated beam) that illuminates a region of the sample. The beam is generally plane-polarized perpendicular to the measurement plane, although other polarizations may be used, particularly when studying anisotropic particles. Another necessary element is an optical cell for holding the sample under measurement. Alternatively, a cell incorporating means to enable measurement of fluid samples may be used. When measuring single-particle scattering properties, means must be provided to introduce such particles one at a time through the light beam at points approximately equidistant from the surrounding detectors.
[0013] Most MALS-based measurements are performed in a plane, involving a set of detectors typically positioned equidistant from the sample, which is located at the center through which the illumination beam passes. However, a three-dimensional version has also been developed in which the detectors are located on the surface of a sphere, and the sample is controlled to pass through the center of the sphere, intersecting the path of the incident light beam as it passes along the diameter of the sphere at its center. MALS techniques generally collect multiplexed data sequentially from the output of a set of discrete detectors. MALS light scattering photometers generally have multiple detectors.
[0014] Different detectors within a MALS detector may (i) have slightly different quantum efficiencies and gains, and (ii) capture different geometric scattering volumes. Therefore, it may be necessary to normalize the signals captured by the MALS detector's photodetectors at each angle. If these differences are not normalized, the results from the MALS detector may become meaningless and may be improperly weighted toward different detector angles.
[0015] DC detector Differential refractive index detector A differential refractive index detector (dRI), also known as a differential refractometer or refractive index detector (RI or RID), is a detector that measures the refractive index of an analyte relative to a solvent. They are often used as detectors for high-performance liquid chromatography and size exclusion chromatography. While dRIs are considered versatile detectors because they can detect anything with a different refractive index than the solvent, they have low sensitivity. When light leaves one substance and enters another, it bends or refracts. The refractive index of a substance is an indicator of how much light bends upon entry.
[0016] A differential refractive index detector (dRI) includes a flow cell comprising two parts: a sample section and a reference solvent section. The dRI measures the refractive index of both components. When only the solvent passes through the sample component, the refractive index measured for both components is the same; however, when the analyte passes through the flow cell, the two measured refractive indices differ. This difference appears as a peak in the chromatogram. Differential refractive index detectors are often used in the analysis of polymer samples in size exclusion chromatography. The dRI can output a concentration detector signal value corresponding to the concentration value of the sample.
[0017] UV-visible spectroscopy Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis or UV / Vis) refers to absorption or reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible spectral region. Ultraviolet-visible detectors / spectrophotometers use light in the visible and adjacent ranges. Absorption or reflectance in the visible range directly affects the perceived color of the chemical substance in question, and in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum, atoms and molecules undergo electronic transitions. Such absorption spectroscopy measures transitions from the ground state to the excited state. Ultraviolet-visible detectors / spectrophotometers measure the intensity (I) of light passing through a sample and the intensity (I) of light before it passed through the sample. o ) compared with, here, ratio I / I o This is called transmittance and is usually expressed as a percentage (%T). Absorbance A is based on transmittance according to the following:
[0018] A = -log(%T / 100%) A UV-Vis spectrophotometer can also be configured to measure reflectance, in which case the spectrophotometer measures the intensity (I) of light reflected from the sample and the intensity (I) of light reflected from the reference material. o ) compared with, here, ratio I / I o This is called reflectance and is usually expressed as a percentage (%R). A UV absorption detector can output a concentration detector signal value that corresponds to the concentration value of the sample.
[0019] Adeno-associated virus Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are small viruses (approximately 20 nm) belonging to the Parvoviridae family that infect humans but are not thought to cause disease. AAVs have emerged as attractive vectors for gene therapy due to their small size, mild immune response, and ability to stably integrate their genome into a specific site (AAVS1 on human chromosome 19) in the host cell genome. Recent FDA approval of Zolgesma® for the treatment of spinal muscular dystrophy, and several promising ongoing clinical trials such as trial number NCT00516477 (Clinicaltrials.gov), demonstrate that AAV manufacturing processes require robust, reliable, and easily implementable characterization methods to meet regulatory requirements imposed by the FDA and other regulatory agencies. However, viral vector characterization remains a challenge, and new methods need to be developed to ensure safe and high-quality AAV vectors for the advancement of AAV-related clinical trials. Furthermore, the FDA recently demonstrated that its characterization methods are well-controlled and developed two reference standards (RSMs), recombinant AAV serotypes 2 and 8, which can be used as benchmark tools for certifying internal reference materials. When these RSMs were established, significant variability was observed in the determination of capsid particles and vector genomes across different institutions, further highlighting the need for robust methods for determining AAV vector titers in preclinical and clinical studies, given the rapid development of this field.
[0020] The characterization of AAV is typically separated into several different stages, namely particle titer, vector genome titer, transduction titer, infectivity titer, and determination of purity and identity. Quantification of particle titer usually involves an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) to detect the presence of ligands (proteins) in solution using antibodies against the protein being measured. This test requires specialized laboratory work and typically takes 24 hours to several weeks to obtain results. The next step is to quantify the amount of viral genome. This is usually done using qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) after lysis of the viral capsid and thus after sample loss.
[0021] The purity and identity of the obtained AAV are evaluated by SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). The resulting viral capsid protein bands are evaluated for their stoichiometry and size. However, this is a relative method that requires the use of standards. The identity of the gene vector is determined by observing the electrophoretic band pattern and comparing it with a positive control (again, a relative method).
[0022] Therefore, it is important to have a robust and reproducible method that can be easily implemented in QC during manufacturing. SEC-MALS enables rapid sample analysis with a run time of less than 30 minutes and can be used to determine important quality attributes of AAV-based gene therapies, such as the number concentration of viral capsids, the ratio of filled particles to unfilled particles, and the absolute molar mass of proteins and genomic components. There is a need to measure the attributes of viral gene delivery vehicle (VGDV) samples by isolation.
