Downstream processing and chromatography based analytical methods for production of vaccines, gene therapy vectors, and bacteriophages

Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2015;11(4):1010-21. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2015.1009817.

Abstract

Downstream processing of nanoplexes (viruses, virus-like particles, bacteriophages) is characterized by complexity of the starting material, number of purification methods to choose from, regulations that are setting the frame for the final product and analytical methods for upstream and downstream monitoring. This review gives an overview on the nanoplex downstream challenges and chromatography based analytical methods for efficient monitoring of the nanoplex production.

Keywords: CIM monolithic column; DSP; PAT; USP; VLP; bacteriophage; gene therapy vector; purification; vaccine; virus.
