Considerations for the development of AAV production & Purification
Inherent Complexity and Variation

Variation in the ratio of Full- and Pseudo-Vector particlesSerotype-dependent particle distribution in vector
production
Full nullallogeneicsyngeneic
“Empty”
• Empty : Full vector ratios can vary
widely (3:1 – 30:1) – Serotype & Process
• Some Clinical-grade vectors have had
>90% pseudo content
• EM analysis is the ‘Gold Standard’ for
analysis
• Not suitable for rapid PD
• Full / Empty ratio usually determined by ELISA & qPCR
• Total Particle analysis is performed using a conformational
specific antibody (A20) in an ELISA
• Genomic Particle analysis is performed by qPCR with
primers sets usually directed at amplicon regions in the
ITR sequences
Challenges for Viral Vector Process Development
The Importance Analytics• Analytics also require development and optimisation
for use as in-process assays
• DNA template for standard
curve requires optimisation
• Linear Plasmid vs Circular
• Free ITR ends for standard
curve
• 3x variation in titre of
reference material observed
• Requires alignment to
transgene-specific qPCR

Scalable Approach: Scale Down & Scale Up Consistency
AAV vectors are prone to aggregation
• AAV-vectors have a tendency to aggregate at
certain concentrations (1x1013 particles/mL)
• Aggregation seems to be promoted by
residual DNA, host proteins and HSPGs
• The combination of ELISA and qPCR based
analytics can indicate gross aggregation
• Affinity ligand based on camelid single domain antibody
• AAV bind at Neutral pH and is eluted at Low pH (2-5)
• High yields of AAV
• No separation of E/F
Purification of AAV-vectors; Initial Capture of Vector
Capturing AAV with Affinity Chromatography
• Different affinities for different serotypes
• Need to minimize exposure to low pH during elution

Purification of AAV-vectors; Separation of Full & Empty Capsids
Enriching for Full capsids with IEX Chromatography
• Separation based on small charge difference between Full &
Empty capsids
• Elution relies on very shallow duel linear gradients (pH &
conductivity) to effect the separation
Data Sourced from ‘Chromatographic separation of full
and empty AAV8 capsids, BIA separations
Challenges:
• Variations in AAV vector serotype
• Variations in genomic packaging content
• Will separation be sufficient for larger clinical and even commercial
volumes
• High degree of optimisation will be required

Challenges:
• Gene Therapy & AAV vectors are here to stay
• AAV Variety adds Complexity for scalable manufacture
• Major challenges in achieving rapid process development
• Most bioprocess solutions are imported from ‘classical
biologics’ technologies
• Analytical technology lags behind process technology
Opportunities:
• Important to develop fast screening approaches to provide a
handle for rapid process development
• Fundamental to better understand capsid structure-function
relationships and how these relate to the proposed bioprocess

Testing Downstream Processing Formulation Impact
Two rounds of assessment of the impact of the elution buffer formulations were
tested using the high throughput automated liquid handling Perkin Elmer JANUS
BioTx platform at CPI.
This was coupled with application of multiple high resolution analytical methods
to determine the impact of the formulation buffers on step performance and
product quality.
The second round (refined formulations) achieved elution profiles comparable to
the control, important for process yield.
Significant stabilisation of mAb through downstream processing was achieved
using Arecor chromatographic elution formulations optimised in this second
round evaluation.

Opportunities and challenges with Protein A chromatography
Protein A: the key for efficient mAb manufacturing
Protein A is well-established as the key purification step in mAb manufacturing processes.
Key success factors:• Natural affinity is the result of millions of years of
evolution and offers high purity and yield in one step.
• Engineered variants of Protein A offer significant advantages for industrial manufacturing.
• Proven and regulatory-accepted technology for fast and predictable development to manufacturing scale.
KA610250917PP I Nov 2017
Increased time and cost pressure on development and manufacturing of mAbs:
• Increasing upstream titers can make the Protein A chromatography process step a bottleneck.
• The combination of high nutrient load and low alkaline stability of the Protein A ligand leads to increased bioburden risk and costly process deviations.
Challenges with Protein A chromatography
KA610250917PP I Nov 2017
First challenge: Protein A resin capacity constraints
• Long manufacturing lead times and required Protein A resin volumes higher than necessary.
• Lack of prepacked disposable chromatography column solutions for the high-titer processes.
Upstream titer development Consequences of limited capacity

50–1000 mg/L

2015–2025
KA610250917PP I Nov 2017
2005–2015
Second challenge: bioburden and cross-contamination risks
• Protein A capture step exposed to crudest feed and highest concentrations of nutrient load.
• Current Protein A ligand solutions have lower resistance to the commonly used cleaning and sanitization solution 1 M NaOH.
• Less efficient cleaning, with potential cross-contamination risk and fouling, impacts dynamic binding capacity.
• Elevated bioburden risk.
