Abstract
The nucleic acid sequences of adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 1 are provided, as are vectors and host cells containing these sequences and functional fragments thereof. Also provided are methods of delivering genes via AAV-1 derived vectors.
Claims3
A nucleic acid molecule encoding AAV-1 helper functions, said molecule comprising an AAV rep coding region and an AAV cap coding region, wherein said rep coding region comprises an AAV-1 rep coding region comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) rep 78, n334 to 2306 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- (b) rep 68, nt 334 to 2272 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or the cDNA corresponding thereto;
- (c) rep 52, nt 1007 to 2304 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- and
- (d) rep 40, nt 1007 to 2272 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or the cDNA corresponding thereto.
A recombinant host cell transformed with a nucleic acid sequence expressing one or more AAV-1 cap proteins selected from among vp1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:13, vp2 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:15 and vp3 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:17.
