Abstract

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has been developed as a successful vector for both basic research and human gene therapy. However, neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against AAV capsids can abolish AAV infectivity on target cells, reducing the transduction efficacy. Absence of AAV NAb has become a prerequisite qualification for patients enrolled in gene therapy trials. Nevertheless, accurate assessment of AAV NAb has remained a challenging task. Here we developed a rapid assay based on the observations that AAV NAb inhibits rAAV binding to the host cell surface and NAb titers are negatively related to the amount of AAV genomes binding to the target cells. By quantifying the AAV genome on the target cells in the presence of anti-sera, AAV NAb titers can be accurately determined. The titer determined by this assay correlates well with the classical transduction-based assays. A major advantage of this method is that it can be carried out with a 30-min binding assay without the lengthy wait for a transduction outcome. This assay is independent of transduction performance of AAV serotype in the target cells. Therefore, the AAV cell-binding assay for NAb determination offers an alternative method for in vivo NAb assay.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
