GeneMedi’s AAV9 Rep-Cap plasmid (serotype 9-specific AAV RC plasmid), also named AAV9-RC plasmid, or AAV-RC9 plasmid, is part of AAV9 packaging system. AAV9 Rep-Cap plamid supplies the AAV9 Rep (replication) proteins and the AAV9 capsid protein.
You can produce AAV9 paticle in 293T cell line in high titer using GeneMedi’s AAV9 Rep-Cap plasmid with GeneMedi’s AAV expression vector (overexpression or shRNA) and AAV helper plasmid.
The tissue tropism of AAV9 vector has been validated in neuron (CNS), lung, liver, heart and muscle, with potential applications in tissue-specific gene therapy.
AAV9 vector tissue tropism and gene transduction (serotype-specific AAV infection)
The tissue tropism of AAV9 vector has been validated in neuron(CNS), heart, muscle, retina and Pancreas, with potential applications in tissue-specific gene therapy.
