We present multi-wavelength (MW) analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) methods offering superior accuracy for adeno-associated virus characterization and quantification. Experimental design guidelines are presented for MW sedimentation velocity and analytical buoyant density equilibrium AUC. Our results were compared with dual-wavelength AUC, transmission electron microscopy and mass photometry. In contrast to dual-wavelength AUC, MW-AUC correctly quantifies adeno-associated virus capsid ratios and identifies contaminants. In contrast to transmission electron microscopy, partially filled capsids can also be detected and quantified. In contrast to mass photometry, first-principle results are obtained. Our study demonstrates the improved information provided by MW-AUC, highlighting the utility of several recently integrated UltraScan programs, and reinforces AUC as the gold-standard analysis for viral vectors.
我们提出了多波长(MW)分析超速离心(AUC)方法,为腺相关病毒的表征和定量提供了更高的准确性。 为 MW 沉降速度和分析浮力平衡 AUC 提出了实验设计指南。 我们的结果与双波长 AUC、透射电子显微镜和质谱法进行了比较。 与双波长 AUC 相比,MW-AUC 可正确定量腺相关病毒衣壳比并识别污染物。 与透射电子显微镜相比,也可以检测和定量部分填充的衣壳。 与质光法相比,获得了第一性原理结果。 我们的研究表明,MW-AUC 提供了改进的信息,突出了最近集成的几个 UltraScan 程序的实用性,并强化了 AUC 作为病毒载体的金标准分析。
