Incorporating insulin receptor binding peptides into AAV capsids enhances transduction efficiency, reducing vector doses and immune responses.
Substituting surface lysine and tyrosine residues in the AAV VP3 region prevents ubiquitination, blocking proteasome degradation of the viral vector.
Cellulose serves as an affinity matrix to isolate recombinant proteins, replacing expensive urea buffers with mild elution systems to reduce costs.
Inactivating MAAP translation in AAV producer cells increases viral yield and capsid integrity during extended culture periods.
Segmenting the viral vector into RNA components and adding a stuffer fragment increases insert size capacity while preventing infectious particle assembly.
Deleting ICP0 and ICP34.5 genes in a recombinant herpes simplex virus enables high-level tumor replication while eliminating neurotoxicity in normal cells.
An anti-CRISPR construct with a germline promoter inhibits Cas9 cleavage, countering resistant allele formation and unintended ecological spread.
Modifying the adenovirus fiber AB-loop enables binding to alternative receptors, overcoming low CAR expression in cancer cells.
