Precise hit: adeno-associated virus in gene targeting
2005
Vectors based on the adeno-associated virus (AAV) have attracted much attention as potent gene-delivery vehicles, mainly because of the persistence of this non-pathogenic virus in the host cell and its sustainable therapeutic gene expression. However, virus infection can be accompanied by potentially mutagenic random vector integration into the genome. A novel approach to AAV-mediated gene therapy based on gene targeting through homologous recombination allows efficient, high-fidelity, non-mutagenic gene repair in a host cell.
