Cross-Packaging of a Single Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Type 2 Vector Genome into Multiple AAV Serotypes Enables Transduction with Broad Specificity

Rabinowitz, Joseph E., Rolling, Fabienne, Li, Chengwen, Conrath, Hervè, Xiao, Weidong, Xiao, Xiao, ...

The serotypes of adeno-associated virus (AAV) have the potential to become important resources for clinical gene therapy. In an effort to compare the role of serotype-specific virion shells on vector...

Adeno-associated virus vectors: potential applications for cancer gene therapy

Li, Chengwen, Bowles, Dawn E, Van Dyke, Terry, Samulski, Richard Jude

Augmenting cancer treatment by protein and gene delivery continues to gain momentum based on success in animal models. The primary hurdle of fully exploiting the arsenal of molecular targets and...

Serotype-specific replicating AAV helper constructs increase recombinant AAV type 2 vector production

Li, Chengwen, Samulski, R. Jude

One of the major limitations of the use of adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a tool for gene therapy is the difficulty in providing sufficient quantities of the virus for pre-clinical and clinical...

Adeno-Associated Virus Type 2 (AAV2) Capsid-Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Eliminate Only Vector-Transduced Cells Coexpressing the AAV2 Capsid In Vivo▿

Li, Chengwen, Hirsch, Matthew, Asokan, Aravind, Zeithaml, Brian, Ma, Hong, Kafri, Tal, ...

A recent clinical trial has suggested that recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector transduction in humans induces a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against the AAV2 capsid. To directly...

Reducing the Risk of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Vector Mobilization with AAV Type 5 Vectors▿

Hewitt, F. Curtis, Li, Chengwen, Gray, Steven J., Cockrell, Shelley, Washburn, Michael, Samulski, R. Jude

Current adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy vectors package a transgene flanked by the terminal repeats (TRs) of AAV type 2 (AAV2). Although these vectors are replication deficient, wild-type...

AAV Recombineering with Single Strand Oligonucleotides

Hirsch, Matthew L., Storici, Francesca, Li, Chengwen, Choi, Vivian W., Samulski, R. Jude

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) transduction initiates a signaling cascade that culminates in a transient DNA damage response. During this time, host DNA repair proteins convert the linear single-strand...
