Basic Biology of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Vectors Used in Gene Therapy

Balakrishnan, Balaji, Jayandharan, Giridhara·2014·Current Gene Therapy

Abstract

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) based vectors have emerged as important tools for gene therapy in humans. The recent successes seen in Phase I/II clinical trials have also highlighted the issues related to the host and vector-related immune response that preclude the universal application of this promising vector system. A fundamental insight into the biological mechanisms by which AAV infects the host cell and a thorough understanding of the immediate and long-lived cellular responses to AAV infection is likely to offer clues and help design better intervention strategies to improve the therapeutic efficiency of AAV vectors. This article reviews the biology of AAV-host cellular interactions and outlines their application in the development of novel and improved AAV vector systems.

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.
