Viral vectors, including lentivirus (LV) and adeno-associated virus (AAV), have emerged as essential tools in gene therapy. Their ability to facilitate long-term expression of therapeutic genes through genomic integration is unprecedented. However, the randomness of this integration raises significant safety concerns, particularly regarding insertional mutagenesis, which can lead to oncogene activation or potentially harmful transcript generation. Recent industry reports indicate that a substantial percentage of gene therapies face termination during clinical trials primarily due to safety-related issues.

Creative Biogene is at the forefront of addressing these challenges with specialized services dedicated to integration site analysis. With over fifteen years of experience in viral vector development, we understand the critical nature of ensuring the safety and efficacy of gene therapy protocols.

Technical Approaches for Integration Site Analysis
Creative Biogene employs advanced techniques that comply with FDA and NMPA regulations. Our offerings include

Linear Amplification-Mediated PCR (LAM-PCR): This method allows for precise identification of viral integration sites through restriction enzyme digestion and next-generation sequencing. It boasts high sensitivity, enabling the detection of low-frequency integration events with the potential to analyze over 10,000 integration sites in a single experiment. Applications of this approach are especially relevant in preliminary screening of integration hotspots and monitoring clonal expansion in therapies like CAR-T.

Enhanced EPTS LAM-PCR: Building on the foundations of LAM-PCR, this optimized version enhances measurement accuracy and decreases sample requirements. It ensures that clone contribution can be assessed with an error margin under 5%. Such capabilities make it ideal for long-term tracking of AAV vector safety and assessing clonal stability in stem cell therapies.

Hybrid Seed Enrichment Sequencing (HES): This innovative approach utilizes specific probes for targeted sequence enrichment, combined with long-read sequencing technologies. HES provides single-base resolution for low-frequency AAV vector integrations, enabling comprehensive annotation of functional correlations between integration sites and adjacent genomic regions. This makes HES particularly useful for regulatory filings and verifying biosafety.
