Protheragen, a leading biotechnology company specializing in innovative genetic solutions, announced the expansion of its comprehensive Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Vector Platform services to meet the growing demands of gene therapy research and development.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a non-enveloped virus that can transport DNA to target cells through genetic engineering, and it has garnered significant attention in the field of gene therapy. AAV vectors are distinguished by their ability to transduce both dividing and non-dividing cells, their low immunogenicity, and their capacity for long-term gene expression without integration into the host genome. Due to their unique properties, adenovirus-associated vectors are currently one of the most actively studied gene therapy vectors.

“Our enhanced AAV Vector Platform represents Protheragen’s commitment to advancing gene therapy research,” said a senior scientist at Protheragen. “We have developed a comprehensive suite of services that enables researchers to harness the full potential of AAV vectors in their studies.”

Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) vectors have emerged as powerful tools in the field of gene therapy and genetic research. They are particularly valuable in studying genetic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic conditions. AAV vectors allow for efficient gene transfer to target tissues, enabling researchers to investigate gene function, develop disease models, and evaluate potential therapeutic approaches.

In mitochondrial disease research, AAV vectors serve as excellent delivery systems for genes that encode mitochondrial proteins. They can effectively transport genetic material to affected tissues, facilitating the study of disease mechanisms and potential interventions. This capability is particularly relevant for systemic mitochondrial diseases, which affect multiple organ systems and present complex research challenges.

Protheragen’s Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Vector Platform offers end-to-end solutions for researchers, including:

Custom AAV vector design

AAV capsid selection and optimization

High-titer AAV production and purification

Quality control and vector characterization

Packaging of transgenes of interest

Technical support from vector design to experimental application

The platform features multiple AAV serotypes with different tissue tropisms, allowing researchers to select the optimal vector for their specific target tissues. Protheragen’s advanced manufacturing processes ensure the production of high-quality, purified AAV vectors that meet stringent research standards.

“Our team of experts works closely with clients to customize AAV vectors according to their specific research needs,” the senior scientist added. “We understand the importance of reliable, high-quality vectors in advancing scientific discovery and potential therapeutic applications.”
