Abstract
Lentiviral (LV) vector-based gene therapy is gaining popularity for treating a wide range of diseases. Various LV vectors are being developed for transducing cells in cellular gene therapy at St. Jude. Some LV vectors are produced using stable 293T packaging cell lines, which includes gag-pol-rev-tat and virus-glycoprotein. Transactivating factor (transactivator of transcription [Tat]) is a regulatory protein that drastically increases the efficiency of lentiviral transcription. Residual analysis of Tat is critical for gene vector quality and safety. In this work, we developed a highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for analysis of residual Tat in Lentivirus as an alternative to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Residual Tat in LV can be accurately quantified with high specificity with a limit of detection of 0.3 ng/mL.
