Abstract
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has become the leading viral vector for in vivo gene therapy. This review examines how different manufacturing methods, from mammalian to insect cell-based systems, influence AAV vector characteristics. Though each platform generates vectors with distinct molecular signatures affecting purity, safety and potency, clinical outcomes remain consistent across production platforms. Understanding the nuances of these platforms will still provide valuable insight for clinicians overseeing AAV-based therapy.
期刊介绍:
medizinischegenetik is a scientific journal that is owned and published by the German Society of Human Genetics e.V. since 1989. The journal was founded by Prof. Jan Murken, München. Self-published until 2006, from 2007-2019 published at Springer Verlag and since 2020 at De Gruyter.
medizinischegenetik serves education and training among colleagues, the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge in all areas of human genetics in clinics, practice, research and teaching. Each issue of the quarterly journal deals with a focus that provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in specific clinical pictures, technical developments and therapeutic approaches. All reviews are written in English language. The journal thus creates a platform for the international exchange of knowledge and increased awareness of German research activities in the scientific community.
In addition, medizinischegenetik contains information on activities in its own subject in the German-language section. This includes conference reports, association announcements, personnel matters, statements and guidelines. With health policy questions, historical retrospectives and comments on current developments, the profession takes a stand on human genetic issues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
