AAV Genome Titer by ddPCR

Mass Photometry
  • PackGene provides Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) service for highly sensitive and precise quantification of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector titers. This advanced method provides significant advantages over traditional quantitative PCR (qPCR) and other conventional quantification techniques. Unlike qPCR, which measures fluorescence intensity in a bulk reaction and infers initial target concentration based on a standard curve, ddPCR physically partitions a single sample into tens of thousands of microscopic water-in-oil droplets. Each droplet acts as an individual, discrete reaction compartment. This innovative approach enables the absolute quantification of DNA copies without the need for a standard curve, providing superior accuracy crucial for gene therapy applications.

AAV titer quantification by ddPCR typically starts with sample preparation: capsid lysis followed by DNase I digestion and heat treatment effectively releases the viral genomes. Next, during droplet generation, the PCR reaction mixture is precisely partitioned into approximately 20,000 nanoliter-sized, water-in-oil droplets using automated droplet generator. In the amplification phase, target sequences (such as AAV ITR regions) are PCR-amplified, with fluorescent probes specifically marking positive droplets containing AAV genomes. Finally, quantification is achieved by analyzing droplet data with Poisson statistics to determine the absolute concentration of genome copies per microliter.

Performance

  • Our ddPCR service provides precise quantification of viral genome copies, ensuring accurate assessment of viral load. This is essential for determining effective dosages and maintaining batch-to-batch consistency in gene therapy applications.
