- AAV Adeno-associated virus
- Viruses of the Parvoviridae family are small DNA-containing animal viruses.
- the family Parvoviridae can be divided into two subfamilies: Parvovirinae, whose members infect vertebrates, and Densovirinae, whose members infect insects.
- Parvovirinae whose members infect vertebrates
- Densovirinae whose members infect insects.
- 11 serotypes had been described adeno-associated virus (Mori, S. ET AL., 2004, "Two novel adeno-associated viruses from cynomolgus monkey: pseudotyping characterization of capsid protein", Virology, T. 330 (2): 375-83).
- Adeno-associated virus type 12 (AAV12): a novel AAV serotype with sialic acid- and heparan sulfate proteoglycan-independent transduction activity, J Virol. 2008 Feb;82 (3): 1399-406 doi: 10.1128/JVI.02012-07). All known serotypes can infect cells in many tissue types. Tissue specificity is determined by the serotype of the capsid proteins, so adeno-associated virus-based vectors are constructed by specifying the required serotype. Additional information on parvoviruses and other members of the Parvoviridae is described in the literature (Kenneth I. Berns, "Parvoviridae: The Viruses and Their Replication", Chapter 69 in Fields Virology (3d Ed. 1996)).
- the genomic organization of all known AAV serotypes is very similar.
- the AAV genome is a linear single stranded DNA molecule that is less than about 5000 nucleotides (nt) in length.
- Inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) flank the unique coding nucleotide sequences of proteins (Rep) necessary for the life cycle of the virus, as well as sequences of overlapping capsid proteins (Cap).
- the Cap gene encodes VP proteins (VP1, VP2 and VP3) that form the capsid, as well as AAP proteins (Protein that activates the assembly of adeno-associated virus (AAV) Research F, Kother K, Schmidt K, et al.
- the assemblyactivating protein promotes capsid assembly of different adeno-associated virus serotypes J Virol 2011;85(23): 12686-12697 doi: 10.1128/JVI.05359-ll) and MAAP (Membrane Binding Accessory Protein Ogden PJ, Kelsic ED, Yale S, Church GM Comprehensive AAV capsid fitness landscape reveals a viral gene and enables machine-guided design Science 2019;366(6469): 1139-1143 doi: 10.1126/science.aaw2900).
- the flanking sequences of the AAV genome are self-complementary and arranged in such a way that an energetically stable intramolecular duplex can be formed, forming a T-shaped hairpin structure.
- Such hairpin structures function as origins of viral DNA replication, serving as primers for the cellular DNA polymerase complex.
- Rep genes eg, Rep78 and Rep52
- both Rep proteins have a specific function in viral genome replication.
- Splicing in the Rep open reading frame (Rep ORF) results in the expression of actually four Rep proteins (eg, Rep78, Rep68, Rep52, and Rep40).
- Rep78 and Rep52 proteins is sufficient for the production of the AAV vector in mammalian cells.

- the “right side” of the (+)-strand of the adeno-associated virus genomic DNA contains overlapping sequences encoding three capsid proteins, VP 1 , VP2, and VP3. Transcription of these genes begins with a single promoter, p40. The molecular weight of the corresponding proteins is 87, 72 and 62 kDa, respectively. All three proteins are translated from the same mRNA. After transcription, the pre-mRNA can be spliced in two different ways, whereby a longer or shorter intron is excised and mRNAs of 2300 or 2600 nucleotides in length are formed.

Probes were also selected for DNA regions corresponding to the middle of the expression cassette (-2400-2500 bp), such a detection point is a control point for the studied ssDNA chain, since this region is less likely to undergo fragmentation when packaged in a capsid (Fig. 6.). Oligonucleotide probes were selected for both plus and minus DNA strands of the expression cassette. Probes differ from conventional oligonucleotides in that they have a biotin molecule at the 5' end of the sequence.

Then, the membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated streptavidin for one hour to bind the biotinylated probe to HRP-conjugated streptavidin. After the final washing of the membranes with 1% BSA TBSTxl, a substrate for chemiluminescent detection was added and a luminescent signal was detected on the membranes (Figure 7). Further processing of the obtained images was carried out using the Image Lab software.
