The Hubs manufacture AAV and LV vectors at GMP grade.
The Sheffield and Bristol Hubs utilise highly efficient processes to manufacture AAV up to 50L and provide all the necessary quality assurance, regulatory certification and governance. The London Hub currently makes use of a transient production/transfection system, using adherent cells with multi-layer cell factories to produce LV and will begin manufacturing AAV vector in early 2024 using an adherent cell line system.
