The state of the art of adeno-associated virus-based vectors in gene therapy

Abstract: The adeno-associated virus (AAV) has rapidly gained popularity in gene therapy since the establishment of the first AAV2 infectious clone, in 1982, due to some of their distinguishing characteristics such as lack of pathogenicity, wide range of infectivity, and ability to establish longterm transgene expression. Notably over the past decade, this virus has attracted considerable interest as a gene therapy vector, and about 85% of the currently available 2,041 PubMed references on adeno-associated viruses have … Show more

“…Exchanging capsids between various AAV serotypes is effective for conferring specific cellular tropism and intensity, as well as onset of gene expression (Coura and Nardi, 2007;Surace and Auricchio, 2008). Virus-mediated gene delivery has resulted in higher levels of cardiac transduction (about 30-to 360-fold) compared to plasmid approaches after direct intramyocardial injections in rabbits (Wright et al, 2001).…”

“…Viral-based delivery can be achieved using adenoviruses (ADs), adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), or retroviruses such as lentiviruses (Ghosh et al 2006;Coura and Nardi 2007;Cockrell and Kafri 2007). ADs are large viruses (60-90 nm in diameter) and are typically transported into the cell through clathrin-coated endocytosis (Ghosh et al 2006).…”

“…These vectors do offer some advantages over other vector systems which include the lack of initiating an immune response, their stability and ability to infect a variety of dividing and non-dividing cells. Unfortunately, they cannot incorporate genes larger than 5 kb and must be closely screened for adenoviral or HSV contamination (Berns, 1996;Grimm & Kay, 2003;Coura & Nardi, 2007;Coura & Nardi, 2008;Mezzina & Merten, 2011). …”

“…Current studies have been leading to great improvements in AAV vector and expression cassette design and novel AAV serotypes have been identified, that have improved AAV vectors efficacy (Kaspar et al, 2002;Coura & Nardi, 2007;McCown, 2011).…”
