In vitro packaging of an infectious recombinant adeno-associated virus 2

Abstract

Adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV), a human parvovirus, has properties such as stable chromosomal integration, high infectivity and lack of known human pathogenicity, making it a potentially useful vector for human gene therapy. AAV requires a helper virus, such as an adenovirus, for optimal replication and packaging in mammalian cells. Although replication of the wild-type AAV genome has been demonstrated in vitro, packaging of infectious viral particles was not documented until now. In this study, we produced in vitro infectious recombinant AAV virions containing the neomycin resistance (NeoR) and the human CD-16 (FC gamma RIIIa) gene. Our in vitro packaging of AAV has the same characteristics as AAV produced in vivo and demonstrates the feasibility of developing a safe packaging method for AAV to be used in gene therapy.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
