ENGINEERED NUCLEIC ACID CONSTRUCTS ENCODING AAV PRODUCTION PROTEINS

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for use in the production of adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles, including recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells (such as Sf9 or Sf21) as viral production cells. In certain embodiments, the production process and system use Baculoviral Expression Vectors (BEVs) in the production of AAV particles. In certain embodiments, the production process and system uses an engineered nucleic acid construct which encodes for AAV capsid proteins, such as VP1, VP2 and VP3. In certain embodiments, the production process and system uses an engineered nucleic acid construct which encodes for AAV replication proteins, such as Rep78 and Rep52.
