Abstract
Column chromatography has been described for purification of recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors (rAAV) serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8. Some of these purification processes have been used in manufacturing pre-clinical grade and clinical grade rAAV vectors. Recently, recombinant AAV9 has been reported to be highly efficient in transducing cardiac muscle in animal models. Systemic or cardiac gene delivery and other applications may require large quantities of rAAV9 vectors, thus a scalable method supporting large scale purification of rAAV9 is needed for clinical development. However, column chromatography-based purification has not been reported to date for rAAV9. This study reports a polyethylene glycol (PEG) modulated chromatography process for purification of AAV9 vectors. Inclusion of PEG in chromatography buffers modulated rAAV9 elution profiles in a manner that resulted in significantly improved resin binding capacity, vector purity and yield. PEG-modulated methods were developed and optimized for hydroxyapatite and ion exchange chromatography, and shown to result in vectors of high purity and functional activity.
