  2. Self-complementary adeno-associated virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Complementary_Adeno...

    Self-complementary adeno-associated virus (scAAV) is a viral vector engineered from the naturally occurring adeno-associated virus (AAV) to be used as a tool for gene therapy. [1] Use of recombinant AAV (rAAV) has been successful in clinical trials addressing a variety of diseases. [ 2 ]

  3. Viral vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_vector

    Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) (lower panel) – To produce AAV, package a gene of interest into the AAV-ITR vector and transfect cells with a Helper vector and the Rep/Cap DNA integration vector. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are relatively small single-stranded DNA viruses belonging to Parvoviridae and, like lentiviral vectors, AAVs can ...

  4. Recombinant AAV mediated genome engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_AAV_mediated...

    Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) based genome engineering is a genome editing platform centered on the use of recombinant AAV vectors that enables insertion, ...

  5. Gene delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_delivery

    Gene delivery is the process of introducing foreign genetic material, such as DNA or RNA, into host cells. [1] Gene delivery must reach the genome of the host cell to induce gene expression . [ 2 ] Successful gene delivery requires the foreign gene delivery to remain stable within the host cell and can either integrate into the genome or ...

  6. Adeno-associated virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeno-associated_virus

    The characteristic feature of the adeno-associated virus is a deficiency in replication and thus its inability to multiply in unaffected cells. Adeno-associated virus spreads by co-infecting a cell with a helper virus.

  7. Gene therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy

    In July results of a gene therapy candidate for haemophilia B called FLT180 were announced, it works using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to restore the clotting factor IX (FIX) protein, normal levels of the protein were observed with low doses of the therapy but immunosuppression was necessitated to decrease the risk of vector-related immune ...

  8. Helper dependent virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helper_dependent_virus

    Because AAV can deliver transgenic material in a non-replicating form, it is a strong candidate for gene therapy and is currently used in about 8% of clinical trials. [ 7 ] Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is an example of a replication defective, helper dependent ssRNA virus because it requires Hepatitis B virus (HBV) to provide HBV surface antigen ...

  9. Oncolytic AAV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncolytic_AAV

    It was found that AAV genome inserts in less than ~10% of occasions AAV infects a cell and the expression is less than when episomally expressed. [4] AAV can only package genomes between 2 – 5.2 kb in size when they are flanked with inverted terminal repeat sequences (ITRs), but optimally holds a genome of 4.1 to 4.9 kb in length. [ 5 ]
