Since the approval of the product Luxtura® using AAV as a vector in 2017, more and more clinical trials have been carried out rapidly, and various early clinical trial projects for rare diseases and a wide range of indications are under development. AAV based therapy has entered a golden age of rapid growth. There is also growing demand for commercial scalable AAV manufacturing due to its good safety, wide host range and low immunogenicity.
To meet the huge demand from the market, whether AAV vectors can be manufactured on a large scale is a key challenge.
