Used by leading pharma companies and CDMOs, the Beacon system offers an integrated end-to-end automated workflow for mammalian cell line development. Clones can be selectively enriched for unique phenotypes and multiple assays can be used to rapidly measure productivity of different antibody molecules.
Despite its success, clinical and logistical roadblocks to mRNA cancer vaccine development remain.
This commentary summarizes the derivation of clonal HEK293 suspension cell lines, selection of clones for rAAV production, and design of experiments-based optimization strategies for characterization of one clonal isolate for high yield rAAV manufacture. Data shown provides proof of concept for the success of this strategy, its applicability for manufacturing different rAAV serotypes and lays the foundation of further clonal cell line characterization for scale up of production.
Stringent patentability requirements present a challenge to obtaining broad-based antibody claims, so companies should develop a strategy based on multiple reinforcing layers of protection.
Accelerated drug development timelines must accommodate all crucial elements of nonclinical safety studies.
