What Are Cell Therapy Plasmid And What Is Their Importance?

Plasmids are widely used vectors in gene and cell therapy products. When producing a cell or gene therapy product, plasmid can be used as raw materials to produce viral vectors. Cell therapy plasmid and gene therapy plasmid usually carry the Gene of Interest, and using helper plasmids and transfer plasmid, viral vector will be packaged, which will finally transduce effector cells in cell therapy, and will be injected directly into patient body in gene therapy.

Cell therapy plasmid and gene therapy plasmid are important in delivering Gene of Interest and packaging viral vectors. Therefore, the helper plasmids and backbone of transfer plasmid are crucial, in order to improve the transfection rate. In addition, as a raw material for the production of cell and gene therapy products, the quality of plasmids should be well controlled. The purity of the cell therapy and gene therapy plasmid, for example, the supercoiled plasmid content, has direct influence on the transfection rate. And the impurities can also influence the safety and efficacy of the final product.

Plasmid in cell therapy and gene therapy is an important material, which can affect the quality, safety and efficacy of the final product. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the manufacturing of cell therapy plasmid and gene therapy plasmid.
