What is AAV?

AAV stands for Adeno-Associated Virus. It's a small, non-enveloped virus that infects humans and some other primate species. AAV is not currently known to cause disease and consequently is exploited as a viral vector for gene therapy, delivering genetic material to cells. Its use in gene therapy involves modifying AAV to remove its disease-causing genes, leaving only the delivery mechanism. These modified AAVs can then deliver therapeutic genes to target cells in the body to treat genetic disorders.
