AAV structural protein, production and use thereof

摘要

Structural proteins of adeno-associated virus (AAV) with at least one mutation are new and have an increased infectiveness. Independent claims are also included for: (1) structure proteins as described above in the form of AAV-particles, especially AAV-capsids; (2) nucleic acids encoding the structure proteins; (3) cells comprising (2); (4) preparation of the structure proteins, comprising culturing the cells of (3) and isolating the expressed proteins; (5) pharmaceutical compositions comprising (2) and/or (3); (6) a diagnostic agent comprising (2) and/or (3); and (7) use of the structure protein for altering the tropism of AAV for the transformation of a cell, for the diagnostic, for effectivity studies for gene therapy and/or for genomic targeting.
