AAV Gene Therapy Research Animation
Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are designed to encapsulate genetic material for the potential treatment of genetic diseases. Explore the science behind AAV gene therapy research.

What Causes Genetic Disease?
Proteins carry out a variety of cellular and physiological functions in the body. See how changes in a person’s DNA can affect proteins and lead to genetic disease.

Gene Therapy Strategies
Learn how genetic therapy approaches can potentially correct genetic mutations to provide functional protein.

Biological Features of a Recombinant AAV
AAVs are commonly used as vectors in gene therapy. See how recombinant AAV vectors are designed and how they function in the body.

Liver-Directed AAV Delivery
Watch how recombinant AAV vectors enter the liver, locate specific surface receptors, and combine with target cells.

Delivery into Target Cells
DNA is delivered to the nucleus of the target cell to allow for gene expression of the relevant protein. Watch the process in action.

Gene Therapy and the Immune Response
Administering AAV vectors can activate different branches of the immune system. Learn about this process and research to develop immunosuppressive techniques.
