Optimized Assessment of qPCR-Based Vector Copy Numbers as a Safety Parameter for GMP-Grade CAR T Cells and Monitoring of Frequency in Patients

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are considered genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and constitute gene therapy medicinal products. Thus, CAR T cell manufacturing for clinical application is strictly regulated. Appropriate methods to assess vector copy numbers (VCNs) in CAR T cell products...
