AAV-ITR Sanger Sequencing

 

Azenta Life Sciences, formerly GENEWIZ’s new proprietary Sanger sequencing method sequences through difficult inverted terminal repeat (ITR) regions of adeno-associated virus (AAV), to expedite screening and validation of leads for your cell and gene therapy research. 

This newly-developed protocol prevents abrupt reduction in the sequencing signal at the start of the ITR hairpin and reads through the full length of the ITR region. AAV-ITR sequencing can be combined with our Primer Walking service to sequence whole AAV vectors.

AAV in Gene Therapy

eBook | A Guide to AAV in Gene Therapy

 

AAV vectors play a critical role in gene therapy, offering an ideal approach for targeted gene delivery. However, understanding the complexities of AAV packaging, optimization, and quality control testing can be challenging. In this eBook learn step-by-step strategies for mastering AAV vector development and enhancing your gene therapy applications.

Tech Note: An Efficient and Reliable Approach to AAV Packaging

 

While AAV is a powerful vehicle for gene delivery, unstable ITRs threaten the fidelity of rAAV genomes. Loss of ITR integrity diminishes the packaging efficiency of rAAV particles and thus viral titer. In this tech note, discover the effect of partial and full ITR deletions on AAV packaging and how to reliably identify and effectively correct them.

Tech Note: Reading Through the Inverted Terminal Repeats (ITRs) of Adeno-associated Virus (AAV)

 

GENEWIZ has developed a high-quality, direct Sanger sequencing method that reads through both intact and commonly mutated inverted terminal repeat (ITR) regions of adeno-associated virus (AAV). This method is an effective tool for assessing the integrity of ITRs in AAV plasmids.

The adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a powerful vehicle for gene therapy; however, working with AAV vectors can be challenging. Spontaneous mutations in the inverted terminal repeat (ITR) regions can accumulate during plasmid propagation in bacteria. Find out how our scientists have optimized the AAV plasmid preparation process to deliver 100% accurate constructs.
