Adeno-associated Viral Vector (AAV) capsid Anc80 in AAV2Rep expression construct.
Introduction
Anc80L65, a viral-like and AAV-like particle, via structural and biochemical measures and 8.6% or 64 amino acids divergent from the closest known AAV sequence. Anc80L65 furthermore demonstrates high stability, unlike any of the tested extant descendants. Anc80L65 is infectious, and it is efficient as a gene transfer vehicle in murine models for retina, liver, and muscle targeting and in non-human primates for liver-directed gene transfer
