Gene Delivery Particle Analysis with High-Throughput Light Scattering Microscopy

Ongoing

This project aims to develop light-scattering microscopy methods for rapid, multi-attribute characterization of gene therapy particles at the single particle level. Emerging gene therapy treatments use gene delivery particles, such as viral vectors and non-viral carriers, to cure intractable

Integrated Lentiviral Vector Copy Number Measurements: Invitation to Participate in an Interlaboratory Testing Program Evaluating Genomic DNA Test Materials

Ongoing

NIST has produced genomic DNA test materials from transduced Jurkat cell lines with integrated lentiviral vector copy number (VCN) for evaluation as a candidate reference material. Transducing Jurkat (Clone E6-1) cell lines with a lentivirus expressing a green fluorescent protein were produced by

Gene Delivery Systems

Ongoing

Viral Vectors Viral vectors are a critical tool for delivering DNA or RNA into patient’s cells. Common viral vectors for gene therapy include adenovirus, lentivirus, and adeno associated virus. Administration of viral vectors can occur in vivo or ex vivo , such as for adeno associated virus or
