Navigating the landscape of lentivirus production poses a multitude of challenges, demanding innovative strategies to enhance recovery rates and address inherent stability concerns. To maximize physical and infectious titer, it is important to carefully tune the conditions of each downstream step with these challenges in mind. This Innovator Insight explores a strategy to refine the downstream process by optimizing capture from clarified feeds using weak anion exchange with Capto™ DEAE resin. A subsequent Capto Core 700 resin polishing step utilizing different buffer pH values and flow rates is also evaluated.
