Optimizing viral transduction in immune cell therapy manufacturing: key process design considerations
Dan Liu, Lee Kang-Zheng
Abstract
Immune cell therapies have revolutionized the treatment of cancers, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. A critical step in their manufacturing is viral transduction, which enables the delivery of therapeutic genes into immune cells. However, the complexity of this process presents significant challenges for optimization and scalability. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of viral transduction process in immune cell therapy manufacturing, highlighting key design considerations to support the development of safe, effective, and scalable production methods. Additionally, it examines current technological challenges in immune cell transduction and explores future innovations poised to advance the field.
