Journal ArticleDOI

Self-complementary recombinant adeno-associated virus (scAAV) vectors promote efficient transduction independently of DNA synthesis.

TL;DR: This work generated and characterized scAAV vectors, which represent a biochemical intermediate in rAAV transduction and should provide new insights into the biology of vector transduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adeno-associated virus terminal repeat (TR) mutant generates self-complementary vectors to overcome the rate-limiting step to transduction in vivo.

TL;DR: This study confirms earlier predictions that complementary-strand DNA synthesis is the primary barrier to rAAV-2 transduction, and provides an extremely efficient vector for gene transfer into many types of cells in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase 1 Gene Therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Using a Translational Optimized AAV Vector

TL;DR: This trial established that rationally designed AAV2.5 vector was safe and well tolerated, lays the foundation of customizing AAV vectors that best suit the clinical objective and should usher in the next generation of viral delivery systems for human gene transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

AAV vectors : is clinical success on the horizon?

TL;DR: Production improvements will be complemented in the coming years with understanding of and innovations in the targeting and packaging of rAAV, the design of transgene cassettes, and the host immune response to the vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adeno-associated virus vectors for gene therapy: more pros than cons?

TL;DR: This review examines a number of long-standing concerns regarding the utility of AAV for gene transfer in light of many new insights into the biology, immunology and production of A AV.
