Since it's discovery, the adeno-associated virus (AAV) has helped move science and research forward due to its excellence as a gene delivery system. This small virus has revolutionized the usage of viral vectors for gene therapy and transgenic expression with many features that make it a suitable candidate for these tasks. Although its usage as a viral vector is still relatively new compared to other tried methods, AAV features many significant advantages that other vectors lack.

In our collection of free resources, you'll learn the basics of the adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery system, including the physical properties, life cycle and pathogenicity, the recombinant system, clinical applications, production protocols, and more.

Introduction

In this knowledge base, you will learn about the physical properties, life cycle, and pathogenicity of the Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV). We will also cover the recombinant AAV system, tropism, serotypes, advantages/disadvantages compared to other gene delivery systems, and applications in clinical trials.
