The invention belongs to the technical field of
gene engineering and
biology, discloses a modified adeno-associated
virus AAV-8
serotype for
retina wide targeting and expression, and further relates to construction and application of the modified type. 10
amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.3 are inserted between the 590th
amino acid and the 591th
amino acid of an AAV-8
serotype capsid protein sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.2, the first, second and tenth amino acids are protected amino acids, and the third to ninth amino acids are amino acid sequences obtained by screening. The modified
serotype disclosed by the invention is stronger in
fluorescence effect after infection and can be obviously and intuitively observed, an exogenous
gene can be widely and efficiently expressed in a specific targeted tissue
retina whole region, and the expression efficiency is greatly improved under the condition of using the same
virus amount. And compared with a wild serotype, the serotype has better and wider targeted
tissue expression and less non-targeted
tissue expression.
