AAV Gene Therapy Research Animation
Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are designed to encapsulate genetic material for the potential treatment of genetic diseases. Explore the science behind AAV gene therapy research.

What Causes Genetic Disease?
Proteins carry out a variety of cellular and physiological functions in the body. See how changes in a person’s DNA can affect proteins and lead to genetic disease.

Gene Therapy Strategies
Learn how gene therapies can potentially correct genetic mutations to provide functional protein.

Biological Features of a Recombinant AAV
AAVs are commonly used as vectors in gene therapy. See how recombinant AAV vectors are designed and how they function in the body.

Targeted Cell AAV Delivery
Watch how recombinant AAV vectors delivered into the body locate specific surface receptors of target cells.

Gene Therapy and the Immune Response
Administering AAV vectors can activate different branches of the immune system. Learn about this process and research to develop immunosuppressive techniques.
