Replication-competent Lentivirus Analysis of Clinical Grade Vector Products

Open access

Abstract

Lentiviral vectors are now in clinical trials for a variety of inherited and acquired disorders. A challenge for moving any viral vector into the clinic is the ability to screen the vector product for the presence of replication-competent virus. Assay development for replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) is particularly challenging because recombination of vector packaging plasmids and cellular DNA leading to RCL has not been reported with the current viral vector systems. Therefore, the genomic structure of a RCL remains theoretical. In this report, we describe a highly sensitive RCL assay suitable for screening vector product and have screened large-scale vector supernatant, cells used in vector production, and cells transduced with clinical grade vector. We discuss the limitations and challenges of the current assay, and suggest modifications that may improve the suitability of this assay for screening US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)-licensed products.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
