Establishment and Confirmation of a Method for Detection of Total Anti-capsid of AAV8 Antibodies in Serum of Rhesus Monkeys
With the development of gene therapy based on adeno-associated virus(AAV),an important task is to develop a simple,rapid and reliable method for detecting pre-existing anti-AAV antibodies.In this study,a simple and rapid method for the detection of total antibodies(TAb)against AAV8 capsid in serum of rhesus monkeys was developed and confirmed.This method based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and AAV8 capsid was coated on 96-well plate,recombinant protein A/G was used as the detection antibody.The results showed that the multiplicative correction factor of this assay was 1.08 and confirmatory cut point was 29.5%.The screening and confirmatory sensitivities were 43.1 and 76.5 ng/mL,respectively.The positive controls of 1 000,100,50 ng/mL were tolerant to 1.25× 1010,3.13× 109,1.56×109 GC/mL AAV8,respectively.Both the coefficients of variation(CV)of intra-run and inter-run met CV≤20.0%.In addition,the method has sufficient selectivity and sample stability,which can be used for TAb detection of pre-existing anti-AAV8 capsid in serum of rhesus monkeys.
