Viral Vector
Manufacturing
We develop and manufacture viral vectors that meet clinical and commercial demands for gene therapy products
CDMO Viral Vector Services
With our full-service viral vector offering, we can develop, manufacture, and optimize lenti (LVV), retro (RVV), and adeno-associated (AAV) viral vectors.
Extensive Experience Through Commercial
Benefiting from over 30 years of industry-leading expertise and four commercially approved products, AGC Biologics is at the forefront of viral vector clinical and commercial manufacturing capabilities with substantial GMP capacity, approved by regulatory authorities.
Fast & Scalable Vector Production
Our ready-to-use platform capabilities for AAV and LVV programs are built on cell factories and bioreactors using adherent and suspension processes. cGMP viral vector manufacturing for suspension-based processes provides up to 2,000 L. We also utilize iCELLis 500 bioreactor technology for adherent processes up to 750 L.
Full Lifecycle Development Systems
Our quality systems, manufacturing scales, and regulatory expertise allow us to meet both clinical and commercial viral vector demands. Moreover, our scale-down capabilities provide flexible and cost-effective solutions for process development and pre-clinical studies.

FAQs
-
What platforms do you use for viral vector manufacturing?
We utilize proprietary platforms to accelerate development: BravoAAV™ for adeno-associated virus (AAV) and ProntoLVV™ for lentiviral vectors (LVV). These platforms use both suspension and adhesion-based processes along with pre-qualified materials to reduce timelines and ensure scalability.
-
Can you support feasibility studies for cell & gene therapies?
Yes, we offer the CMC Jumpstart™ program, a rapid feasibility study package designed to assess the manufacturability of your cell or gene therapy candidate early in development. This program helps de-risk the path to GMP manufacturing. By offering a firsthand demonstration of AGC Biologics’ expertise, companies can assess how well we can meet their specific project requirements before committing to larger-scale work. Once the GOI is provided, AGC Biologics performs a representative scale-down run that provides essential Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) data for a company’s top candidate.
-
What is your experience in cell & gene therapy manufacturing?
AGC Biologics has over 30 years of experience in cell and gene therapy. We have an impressive track record of commercial approvals for both viral vectors and cell therapies, making us one of the most accomplished CGT CDMOs in the industry. Additionally, we have manufactured hundreds of GMP batches for partners around the globe.
-
Do you supply plasmid DNA for viral vector manufacturing?
Yes, AGC Biologics offers internal plasmid DNA (pDNA) manufacturing services. By producing pDNA in-house at our facilities in Heidelberg, Germany and Chiba, Japan, we can streamline the supply chain, reducing external dependencies and timelines.
