Overcoming the Challenges Imposed by Humoral Immunity to AAV Vectors to Achieve Safe and Efficient Gene Transfer in Seropositive Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
One of the major goals of in vivo gene transfer is to achieve long-term expression of therapeutic transgenes in terminally differentiated cells. The extensive clinical experience and the recent approval of Luxturna® (Spark Therapeutics, now Roche) and ...

Engineering a highly durable adeno-associated virus receptor for analytical applications

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2023
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a major viral vector used in gene therapy. There are multiple AAV serotypes, and many engineered AAV serotypes are developed to alter their tissue tropisms with capsid modification.

Adeno-associated virus vectors for retinal gene therapy in basic research and clinical studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
Retinal degenerative diseases, including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and a broad range of inherited retinal diseases, are leading causes of irreversible vision loss and blindness. Gene therapy is a promising and fast-

Syngeneic AAV Pseudo-particles Potentiate Gene Transduction of AAV Vectors

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2017
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have emerged as a safe and efficient gene therapy platform. One complication is that a significant amount of empty particles have always been generated as impurities during AAV vector production.

AAV Vectors for the Nucleolus [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Therapy, 2012
During the replication of wild-type adeno-associated virus (AAV), viral capsids are assembled in the nucleolus,1 and the capsid proteins interact with the nucleolar proteins nucleolin (NCL) and nucleophosmin (NPM1), possibly promoting their transport from the cytoplasm into the nucleolus.2,3 In the case of replication-incompetent AAV vectors, the ...

Chemically Defined, High-Density Insect Cell-Based Expression System for Scalable AAV Vector Production

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
The recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector is one of the most utilized viral vectors in gene therapy due to its robust, long-term in vivo transgene expression and low toxicity.

A Small Virus to Deliver Small Antibodies: New Targeted Therapies Based on AAV Delivery of Nanobodies

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Nanobodies are camelid-derived single-domain antibodies that present some advantages versus conventional antibodies, such as a smaller size, and higher tissue penetrability, stability, and hydrophilicity. Although nanobodies can be delivered as proteins,

AAV Vectored Immunoprophylaxis for Filovirus Infections [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
Filoviruses are among the deadliest infectious agents known to man, causing severe hemorrhagic fever, with up to 90% fatality rates. The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa resulted in over 28,000 infections, demonstrating the large-scale human health and economic impact generated by filoviruses.

Influence of Pre-existing Anti-capsid Neutralizing and Binding Antibodies on AAV Vector Transduction

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2018
Pre-existing immunity to adeno-associated virus (AAV) is highly prevalent in humans and can profoundly impact transduction efficiency. Despite the relevance to AAV-mediated gene transfer, relatively little is known about the fate of AAV vectors in the ...
