Nucleocapsid Proteins
Findings from National University of Ireland, Institute of Immunology advance knowledge in nucleocapsid proteins
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, July 29th, 2010
Research findings, 'Adeno-associated virus serotype 2 induces cell-mediated immune responses directed against multiple epitopes of the capsid protein VP1,' are discussed in a new report. According to recent research from Ireland, "Adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV-2) has been developed as a gene therapy vector. Antibody and cell-mediated immune responses to AAV-2 or AAV-2-transfected cells may confound the therapeutic use of such vectors in clinical practice."
"In one of the most detailed examinations of AAV-2 immunity in humans to date, cell-mediated and humoral immune responses to AAV-2 were characterized from a panel of healthy blood donors. The extent of...
