Detection of titer and purity of recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus
Copyright © BrainVTA All rights reserved1. Detection of rAAV titer by SYBR Green qPCR
In general, rAAV of various serotypes contain either the ITR sequence (partial sequence of the adeno-associated virus genome) or the WPRE (viral titer enhancer element) of serotype 2. We used the SYBR Green qPCR method. In order to quantify the copy number of recombinant adeno-associated virus genome and determine the titer of recombinant adeno-associated virus, a pair of primers specific to the ITR/WPRE sequence of recombinant adeno-associated virus type 2 were designed to detect the copy number of ITR/WPRE sequence.

Conclusion: 1. The size of the three protein bands in the lane of the sample showed that the adeno-associated virus coat VP1,VP2,VP3 was the same as that of the adeno-associated virus coat, and the content ratio was about 1 / 1 / 10, which was similar to the composition of the adeno-associated disease albumin coat.
2. There were no other distinct protein bands in the sample s lanes except for the three distinct protein bands of VP1,VP2,VP3.
Method of experiment:
1. A quantitative
Sample (1196T181110, positive 2ul/ pore
Standard sample (1.0E+08 copies/2ul,2ul/ pore
Protocol: sample preparation
The 2ul samples were diluted to 20ul, mixed with 5ul nuclease 0.2ul, 37 , 1h, then mixed with 5ul 2m NaOH, in 55 water bath for 30min, centrifuged. 5ul 2m HCl was added to the centrifuge tube to mix well. Add 135ul ddHO, to mix, the sample is the sample to be tested. preparation of standard (STD):
The standard solution of 10ul was diluted to 2.0E+08copies/uls by adding 90ul ddH2 According to this method, five times of dilution were repeated, and a series of concentration gradients were obtained, including 2.0E+08copies/ul2.0E+07copies/ul2.0E+06copies/ul2.0E+05copies/ul2.0E+04copies/ul2.0E+03copies/ul.
