­HUMAN CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) TARGETING AAV VARIANTS
­HUMAN CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) TARGETING AAV VARIANTS Researchers at UCSF and UC Berkeley have developed a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) with an altered capsid protein, where the rAAV exhibits greater ability to infect a central nervous system cell compared to wild-type AAVs. The central nervous system (CNS) comprises a multitude...

ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS VIRIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS VIRIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF Researchers at UC Berkeley And. UCSF have developed a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virion, comprising a variant AAV capsid protein, which can exhibit greater infectivity of a macrophage and has potential therapeutic applications. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) belongs to the Parvoviridae...
