Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant adeno-associated virus purification using novel methods improves infectious titer and yield

TL;DR: Several novel purification strategies that involve the use of non-ionic iodixanol gradients followed by ion exchange or heparin affinity chromatography by either conventional or HPLC columns are reported, which result in more than 50% recovery of rAAV from a crude lysate and routinely produce vector that is more than 99% pure.
Book ChapterDOI

Use of adeno-associated virus as a general transduction vector for mammalian cells.

TL;DR: The ability to establish a latent infection which can later be rescued appears to be a mechanism for ensuring the survival of AAV in the absence of a helper virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant AAV viral vectors pseudotyped with viral capsids from serotypes 1, 2, and 5 display differential efficiency and cell tropism after delivery to different regions of the central nervous system.

TL;DR: The tropism and transduction frequency in the central nervous system of three different rAAV vector serotypes are investigated, suggesting that vectors based on distinct AAV serotypes can be chosen for specific applications in the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

A "humanized" green fluorescent protein cDNA adapted for high-level expression in mammalian cells.

TL;DR: Gfph, a synthetic version of the jellyfish Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein cDNA that is adapted for high-level expression in mammalian cells, can be readily sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, suggesting that the newly designed gfph gene could be widely used as a reporter in many gene delivery technologies, including human gene therapy.

AAV transduction vectors

TL;DR: A hybrid gene vector suitable for introducing foreign DNA into a mammalian cell comprising the foreign DNA ligated to an AAV genome was proposed in this article, and a method of constructing the hybrid vector was presented.
