METHODS OF PRODUCING HIGH TITER RECOMBINANT ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS

摘要

The present invention discloses a method of producing large-scale recombinant adeno-associated virus stocks by infection of cells with at least one recombinant adenovirus vector(s). The vector(s) encode a therapeutic gene flanked by the terminal repeat ends of adeno-associated virus and the adeno-associated virus rep and cap genes. Transfection with two recombinant adenovirus vector(s) instead of two plasmids plus adenovirus results in the large scale, high titer production of recombinant adeno-associated virus with little to no contaminating adenovirus present.
