C&EN White Paper
Streamlining gene therapy with AAVs
Brought to you by WuXi AppTec
Overview

Gene therapies are enabling a rapid expansion in the scope of treatable disease. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are particularly advantageous delivery vehicles due to simplicity, safety, and efficacy in providing functional genes of interest.

This paper discusses critical considerations for a successful AAV discovery and development pipeline. Newer technologies and design factors are highlighted that increase both speed and safety.

Key Objectives:
  • AAVs are an excellent modality for introducing functional genes to specific tissues or cells.
  • A successful AAV discovery and development pipeline covers basic vector design, in vitro assays, in vivo biodistribution, immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety studies.
  • New self-silencing adenovirus technology enables the safe, efficient creation of AAVs without contaminating adenoviruses.
