Adeno-Associated Virus(AAV) Gene Therapy Landscape

Adeno-Associated Virus(AAV) Gene Therapy Landscape Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are virus particles composed of single-stranded DNA surrounded by a protein shell. Despite their simple structure, recombinant AAVs (rAAV) can perform the important role of delivering nucleic acids into cells during gene therapy. Due to the high demand for potentially curative treatments in areas of huge unmet […]

Viral vector-based vaccines: Adenovirus (AdV) vector-based vaccines

COVID-19 vaccine development protocol: PSV Based Neutralization Assay Adenovirus (AdV) vector-based vaccines Adenovirus (AdV) is a member of the family Adenoviridae, whose name derives from their initial isolation from human adenoids in 1953 [42]. It is a medium sized (90-100nm) and non-enveloped virus with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a 36kb double stranded DNA genome (Fig. […]

Life Cycle of Adenovirus-From Infection To Regeneration

Adenovirus protocol Download For most serotypes, adenovirus infection is mediated by the high-affinity binding of the fiber-knob region to a receptor of target cell, named as the coxsackie-Ad receptor (CAR) [17]. Upon attachment, interaction between the penton-base Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) and cellular αv integrins, which can stimulate actin polymerization, leads to internalization of the virus into […]

Adenovirus Genome Structure (ITR, E1, E2A¡­¡­) and adenovirus assembly

Adenovirus protocol Download Adenovirus is a non-enveloped, 90-100 nm diameter virus presenting icosahedral symmetry (Figure1A). Human adenovirus, containing a linear, double-stranded DNA genome, which is approximately 36kb, is wrapped in a histone-like protein and has two inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of 50-200 bp, which act as origins of replication, accompanied by a complex series of […]

Advantages and Drawbacks of Adenovirus Vector-mediated Gene Transfer

Adenovirus protocol Download a) Advantages of Adenovirus-mediated gene delivery Adenovirus has been developed into a preferred candidate for creating viral vectors for gene therapy due to various advantages.1) Well tolerated, with post-infection viability of the host cells being almost 100%.2) Great packaging capacity (up to 8kb).3) Broad range of infectivity. Adenovirus can infect both dividing […]

Adenovirus Gene Therapy Review

Adenovirus protocol Download Adenovirus has been proved as an excellent gene therapy vector. To date, more than 535 clinical trials have been carried out using adenovirus vectors for gene delivery [7], and promising gene therapy outcomes from recombinant adenovirus have been achieved from clinical trials for a great number of diseases (Table 1), especially for […]

What is Adenovirus vector?

Adenovirus protocol Download Adenovirus (AdV) is a member of the family Adenoviridae, whose name derives from their initial isolation from human adenoids in 1953 [1]. It is a medium-sized (90-100nm) and non-enveloped virus with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double-stranded DNA genome. With a broad range of vertebrate hosts, 100 serotypes have been isolated, and […]
