DISCOVERY TO CLINIC

Pick the grade your study needs. Scale on the GMP process.

NHP-grade AAV is made with the same cell line, plasmid system and process as our GMP production, which lowers tech-transfer risk when your program moves into the clinic.

CC

Cell Culture

For in vitro and cell-based experiments.

From 15 business days

SA

Small Animal

For mouse and other small-animal studies.

From 21 business days

NHP

Non-Human Primate

For NHP and large-animal studies.

From 25 business days

GMP

Clinical

Typical timeline for an AAV program. Your project plan depends on construct, scale and testing scope.

Teams that started with research-grade vectors and continued into CDMO with us include Source Bio, Navega and the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University.

Two sites

Houston, Texas
35,000 sq ft cGMP facility. PackGene Biotech Inc. is our U.S. entity
Guangzhou, China
3,000 m² GMP vector facility with 4 production lines

Depending on your strategy, the two sites act as backup capacity for each other or as tech-transfer partners.

Release testing
23 drug substance and 19 drug product tests, including rcAAV, host-cell DNA and protein, and full/empty ratio
Data security
ISO/IEC 27001 certified. U.S. customer data stays in the U.S.

CASE STUDY · OPHTHALMOLOGY

GeneVector: analytical package for a dual-plasmid AAV, IND cleared

Challenge

JWK001 for nAMD was the first AAV candidate made with a dual-plasmid system, so there were few precedents for its methods, release testing and stability studies.

Our work

Analytical method development and validation, release testing, stability testing and characterization for the CMC package.

Outcome

China's NMPA approved the IND for JWK001 Injection on Feb 22, 2024.

DYNO FRONTIERS NETWORK PARTNER

Manufacturing across engineered capsids

  • 5Dyno® capsids produced on our platform process
  • 3client projects delivered at 10 L for large-animal studies
  • >80%full/empty capsid ratio in final product

CUSTOMER STORIES

What our customers say.

A lot of our programs internally have been having great results with the AAV vectors you all have been packaging. PackGene is rapidly becoming our go-to for AAV vectors!
Principal ScientistGene therapy biotech
Their fast turnaround, competitive pricing, broad range of analytical services, and consistently excellent support make them easy to work with. In head-to-head comparisons, their vectors have routinely matched or outperformed those from other providers.
Head of Therapeutic AlliancesResearch non-profit organization
Their turnaround times are impressive, communication is excellent, and we always feel that our projects are in very capable hands. For my research programs, where every week matters, having a partner that can move this quickly and reliably makes a real difference.
Assistant Research ProfessorNextGen Precision Health
We have been using PackGene for almost 3 years now, and we can highly recommend them. There have been no quality issues, pricing is competitive, turnaround is quick and customer service is great.
ResearcherWashington University in St. Louis
The construct you provided has worked excellently in the rat brain. The mCherry signal is clearly visible, and everything went smoothly. We truly appreciate the quick and precise work you did.
Research ScientistEuropean biotech company
The virus has been working very well on our end, and we're really pleased with the result. We are truly grateful for your support.
