Abstract
The production of lentiviral vectors (LVs) pseudotyped with the vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein (VSV-G) is limited by the associated cytotoxicity of the envelope and by the production methods used, such as transient transfection of adherent cell lines. In this study, we established stable suspension producer cell lines for scalable and serum-free LV production derived from two stable, inducible packaging cell lines, named GPRG and GPRTG. The established polyclonal producer cell lines produce self-inactivating (SIN) LVs carrying a WAS-T2A-GFP construct at an average infectious titer of up to 4.64 × 107 TU mL−1 in a semi-perfusion process in a shake flask and can be generated in less than two months. The derived monoclonal cell lines are functionally stable in continuous culture and produce an average infectious titer of up to 9.38 × 107 TU mL−1 in a semi-perfusion shake flask process. The producer clones are able to maintain a productivity of >1 × 107 TU mL−1 day−1 for up to 29 consecutive days in a non-optimized 5 L stirred-tank bioreactor perfusion process, representing a major milestone in the field of LV manufacturing. As the producer cell lines are based on an inducible Tet-off expression system, the established process allows LV production in the absence of inducers such as antibiotics. The purified LVs efficiently transduce human CD34+ cells, reducing the LV quantities required for gene and cell therapy applications.

期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Journal (2019 Journal Citation Reports: 3.543) is fully comprehensive in its scope and publishes strictly peer-reviewed papers covering novel aspects and methods in all areas of biotechnology. Some issues are devoted to a special topic, providing the latest information on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances.
In addition to these special issues, the journal welcomes unsolicited submissions for primary research articles, such as Research Articles, Rapid Communications and Biotech Methods. BTJ also welcomes proposals of Review Articles - please send in a brief outline of the article and the senior author''s CV to the editorial office.
BTJ promotes a special emphasis on:
Systems Biotechnology
Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering
Nanobiotechnology and Biomaterials
Tissue engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem cells
Gene Editing, Gene therapy and Immunotherapy
Omics technologies
Industrial Biotechnology, Biopharmaceuticals and Biocatalysis
Bioprocess engineering and Downstream processing
Plant Biotechnology
Biosafety, Biotech Ethics, Science Communication
Methods and Advances.
