Capsid modifications for targeting and improving the efficacy of AAV vectors

Open access
Büning, Hildegard, Srivastava, Arun·2019·Molecular Therapy - Methods & Clinical Development

Abstract

In the past decade, recombinant vectors based on a non-pathogenic parvovirus, the adeno-associated virus (AAV), have taken center stage as a gene delivery vehicle for the potential gene therapy for a number of human diseases. To date, the safety of AAV vectors in 176 phase I, II, and III clinical trials and their efficacy in at least eight human diseases are now firmly documented. Despite these remarkable achievements, it has also become abundantly clear that the full potential of first generation AAV vectors composed of naturally occurring capsids is not likely to be realized, since the wild-type AAV did not evolve for the purpose of therapeutic gene delivery. In this article, we provide a brief historical account of the progress that has been made in the development of capsid-modified , next-generation AAV vectors to ensure both the safety and efficacy of these vectors in targeting a wide variety of human diseases.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Engineered vector properties can cloak the viral vector from or modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses.

    “Secondly, engineered vector properties can 'cloak ' the viral vector from (or modulate) the innate and adaptive immune responses (Büning and Srivastava, 2019; Prasad et al., 2022).”

    From Gene Therapy-Associated Uveitis (GTAU): Understanding and mitigating the adverse immune response in retinal gene therapy (2025) · cites this paper as Büning and Srivastava, 2019

    The Conclusions (page not provided) say capsid modifications can alter the host immune response and give examples of reduced CD8+ T-cell responses and partial evasion of pre-existing antibodies. These support modulation or evasion of adaptive immunity, but the passages do not establish an effect on innate immune responses. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
