Adeno-associated Viral Vector (AAV) capsid AAV2(4pMut)ΔHS in AAV2Rep expression construct.
Introduction
AAV2(4pMut)ΔHS was remarkably efficient at transducing photoreceptors. The disparate AAV phenotypes indicate that HS binding, while critical for AAV2-based vectors, is not the sole determinant for transduction via the Ivt route.
