Abstract

Minicircle DNA (mcDNA) is a smaller and safer version of non-viral DNA vectors that results from a cutting-edge in vivo recombination process to excise prokaryotic sequences from plasmid DNA (pDNA). Considering the molecule's potential and increasing interest as a non-viral DNA-based therapeutic, biomanufacturing methodologies need to be improved, especially in downstream processing.
