Why particle characterisation is important in Gene and Cell Therapy

Characterisation is crucial for ensuring safety, efficacy, and consistency. It helps identify the genetic modifications, monitor cell health, and assess therapeutic potential. Precise characterisation ensures regulatory compliance, guides treatment development, and optimises patient outcomes by tailoring therapies to individual genetic profiles.

Cell Size

Cell size is crucial in gene and cell therapy as it influences cellular uptake, viability, and therapeutic efficacy. Accurate size measurement ensures optimal cell selection and enhances treatment outcomes.

Cell Counting

Cell counting is vital for ensuring accurate dosing, monitoring therapeutic progress, and maintaining quality control. Precise counts ensure treatment consistency and regulatory compliance.

Surface Plasmon Resonance

Surface plasmon resonance is crucial in gene and cell therapy for analyzing biomolecular interactions in real-time, aiding in the identification of binding affinities, kinetics, and specificity, thus enhancing therapeutic development and efficacy.

Case study

In gene regulation studies, understanding molecular interactions between DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules is critical. The P4SPR (Four-Channel Surface Plasmon Resonance) system proves invaluable in analyzing these interactions in real-time, offering precise data on binding kinetics and affinities. The objective was to utilise the P4SPR system to study the binding dynamics between transcription factors and regulatory DNA sequences, crucial for elucidating gene expression mechanisms.

The P4SPR system is a powerful tool for studying gene regulation by providing real-time insights into molecular interactions. Its ability to quantify binding affinities and kinetics aids in deciphering complex regulatory networks and designing targeted interventions in gene therapy and biotechnology. This case study underscores the P4SPR’s role in advancing our understanding of gene regulation mechanisms, offering potential applications in therapeutic development and personalized medicine.
