Why this session exists

Lentiviral vectors hold an established, growing role in ex vivo cell and gene therapy, with rising interest in in vivo delivery. As programs advance and regulatory expectations for purity and safety evolve, the field lacks a platform solution able to deliver consistent purity, yield and scalability across the full range of LVV applications.

The ChromaGenix approach

ChromaGenix has developed a dedicated LVV purification approach for the requirements of in vivo manufacturing. Its synthetic peptide ligands are selected against conserved viral matrix epitopes rather than the variable envelope — enabling consistent capture of both VSV-G and Cocal vectors, mild pH elution and preserved infectivity, without pseudotype-specific re-optimization.

Data Demonstrates That One Platform Can Captures Both VSV-G and Cocal

The following key conclusions were drawn from peer-reviewed studies conducted at ChromaGenix and NC State University.

Cross-pseudotype capture from a single resin

Binding affinity data show ligand selectivity for both VSV-G and Cocal without re-optimization of resin format, elution conditions or process parameters.

Transduction competence preserved after mild elution

Functional transduction assay and RT-qPCR titer confirm active, potency-retaining vector recovered across both pseudotypes with no measurable loss of activity.

DBC exceeds commercial affinity resin benchmarks

2–8 × 1010 vp/mL across feed titers versus 9.73 × 109 for the commercial comparator. Higher throughput per column volume, less resin at scale.

Process robustness meets GMP multi-cycle needs

50-cycle stability at 0.5 M NaOH confirms resin integrity after repeated alkaline CIP, with maintained HCP clearance (LRV >2.2).
