New insights into the role of viral capsids in gene therapy safety

Drug Target Review

2 Structure and function of AAV capsids in gene therapy Wild-type AAV is composed of a protein shell (capsid) that contains a single-stranded DNA genome encoding proteins involved in viral replication, structure and assembly. Therefore, vectors based on these serotypes may enable targeted gene delivery and optimal transduction efficiency.
