AAV Packaging Technical Detail
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a kind of Parvovirus, which genome is single-stranded DNA. It can infect both divisive and non-divisive cells. Adenoviruses or herpes viruses are usually needed to assist AVV to replicate in vivo. Recombinant AAV (rAAV) is a viral vector that combines the AAV2 genome with capsid protein genomes of different serotypes. CDS or RNAi interference sequences of the target genes can be inserted into the rAAV plasmid. AAV is mainly used in vivo injection because it has low immunogenicity and long-term expression.
Ubigene's AAV will be purified by ultracentrifugation, and its genome copy will be titrated by qPCR. The titer of AAV ranged from 10^12 to 10^13 v. g. / ml.
Different serotypes of AAVs have different transduction efficiency for tissues and cells. There are 10 different AAV serotypes in our packaging service. It is highly recommended that customers should select the corresponding AAV serotypes for different tissues:

Work Flow and Validation:
Knockout AAV
The gene knockout AAV vector would be constructed and packaged as AAV. After ultracentrifugation purification, it can be used for in vivo injection. Cells infected with AAV can stably express gRNA and Cas9 protein to knockout the target gene.

YKO seriesVectorReporter gene; Selection marker
AAV YKO plasmid YKO-AAV001-gRNA EGFP
YKO-AAV002-gRNA mCherry
Due to the limited capacity of AAV, SaCas9 protein can be used. SaCas9 and gRNA on the same construct can increase transduction efficiency.
Expression AAV
The gene overexpression vector would be constructed and packaged as AAV. After ultracentrifugation purification, it can be used for in vivo injection.
