The Clinical Biotechnology Centre at NHS Blood and Transplant is an MHRA-licensed facility for the manufacture of investigational medicinal products, including advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and other biotechnology products such as plasmid DNA, viral vectors, and therapeutic proteins. The organisation intends to initiate a procurement process for the supply of advanced, high-performance, and cost-effective endonucleases to support the removal of nucleic acids from ATMPs, particularly gene therapy vectors, including adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors and lentiviral vectors. The endonuclease must exhibit non-specific nuclease activity against a broad range of nucleic acid substrates, including DNA, RNA, plasmid DNA, synthetically produced DNA, enzymatically produced DNA, and other nucleic acid modalities used in viral vector manufacturing. The enzyme should retain activity under physiological pH and salt conditions, while also maintaining high enzymatic performance across a broad pH and salt concentration range. Demonstrated suitability for use in viral vector manufacturing processes employing HEK293 suspension cells cultured in stirred-tank bioreactors will be considered an advantage. Suppliers should also demonstrate that residual endonuclease can be efficiently removed from the viral vector product using a defined set of purification methods commonly applied in bioprocessing. A key requirement is the availability of GMP-qualified and validated analytical assay...
