• GenExact™ ssDNA: High efficient and low cytotoxicity non-viral T cell engineering process at clinical scale

  Collaboration with Marson's lab from UCSF (University of California San Francisco) showed that:

  • GenExact™ ssDNA consistently outperformed in-house generated HDRTs (homology-directed repair templates), showing lower levels of toxicity and higher knock-in efficiencies;
  • The KI efficiency of GenExact™ ssDNA via electroporation without any enhancer can reach to 46.2% at a GMP-compatible scale;
  • KI positive live cells count generated by GenExact™ ssDNA was way above estimated patient dose (100*10e6). In vitro assays demonstrated efficient killing of BCMA-CAR cells.

• GenCircle™ dsDNA: Ideal replacement of plasmid HDR template with higher KI efficiency

  GenCircle dsDNA:

  • KI efficiency increased by up to  30% compared to standard plasmid
  • High transfection and low cytotoxicity due to only 429bp vector backbone
  • Avoid drug resistance and regulatory concern as both the antibiotic resistance gene and bacterial origin sequence have been removed

  • CRISPR KI template（ 2.5 kb insertion）
