On the Aggregation of AAVs Curt Jarand and a team from Tulane University along with Karen Baker, Matthew Petroff et al from Spark Therapeutics, Inc. just published a very nice piece of biophysical characterization work on the use of real time #DLS to study #AAV aggregation! 👏 Their newest paper explores how DNA influences the aggregation of AAV capsids. The team revealed that AAVs containing #DNA show significantly slower aggregation compared to empty AAVs. The timecourse on aggregation is particularly impressive! As the industry knows, there’s a host of orthogonal ways to continue studying these aggregates and their degradation pathways. #HPLC #SEC #MALS and #CDMS to name a few. 📄Tulane/Spark Paper: https://lnkd.in/e_rrQZPh #GeneTherapy #Biotechnology #CGT #GeneTx 🧪

Just want to add that different AAVs show different sensitivities to heat in terms of genome leak. So this may not be a general phenomenon.

You could run this exact experiment on Uncle and directly measure size by DLS, confirm aggregation by SLS, DNA leak by fluorescence with SYBR Gold. And with higher throughput than the other instruments listed.
