Chimeric AAV vectors enabling antibody evasion and redosing for cardiac gene therapy

Chimeric AAV vectors enabling antibody evasion and redosing for cardiac gene therapy

Unmet Need Gene therapy using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors is severely limited by pre-existing immunity in 30–80% of adults and by the development of neutralizing antibodies after initial treatment, preventing redosing. There is a critical…
