Analytical workflows for viral vector vaccines
Viral vector vaccine uses live virus to deliver DNA of the target pathogen into a cell for production of antigenic proteins to stimulate an immune response. This vaccine type combines the positive qualities of DNA vaccines with those of live vaccines.
A plasmid must be manufactured and purified. In cells (ex. HEK293), the DNA is combined with the viral vector (transfection) and replicated. The viral vector then needs to be purified. Product quality of DNA plasmid and transfected viral vector need to be monitored throughout the manufacturing process. There are several viral vectors used specifically for vaccines.
Viral vector vaccine product characterization through process development and QC
It is important to completely characterize capsid proteins including sequence and post-translational modifications (PTMs) to ensure product quality and consistency. To ensure safety and efficacy; critical quality attributes of viral vector proteins must be monitored through production.
Intact mass and peptide mapping analysis with mass spectrometry can be used to produce results quickly and with greater specificity.
Due to immunogenicity risks of aggregates, this is a critical quality attribute which must be fully defined and monitored. Aggregates are formed during production, storage and shipment.
Size exclusion chromatography using HPLC methods provide an inexpensive approach to monitoring aggregation in a high throughput manner.
Empty capsids, capsids containing truncated vector genomes or non-vector DNA
Empty capsids and incomplete encapsidation affects efficacy per dose and provide a source of unnecessary, potentially antigenic material, which may elicit unwanted immune response to the vector itself and therefore must be characterized and monitored.
HPLC methods for this type of impurity analysis are being explored.
Analytical workflows for non-viral vector DNA vaccines
Non-viral vector DNA vaccines incorporate plasmids, that contain the sequence(s) for one or more protein antigens and replicate autonomously from the cell chromosome. When the DNA plasmid is introduced into human cells, the human cells express the protein encoded on the plasmid, stimulating an immune response against the encoded antigen. Because they have so far failed to provide a strong immune response, DNA vaccines are being explored as prime boosters that are given before a different vaccination.
For vaccines to be acceptable to regulatory agencies, in-depth analytical characterization and criteria defined for purity/impurity monitoring (CQAs) is needed to ensure safety and efficacy. This means impurities need to be understood through characterization, acceptable levels defined, and then monitored for safety and efficacy.
LC-based method for DNA vaccine product characterization through process development and QC:
Impurity: Open circular and linear forms of plasmid, RNA
The monitoring of supercoiled plasmid DNA and its impurities such as open circular and linear forms is important for the assessment of final product quality, safety, and efficacy.
Chromatographic methods in development include HIC, RP, and AEX.
