Custom Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Service

As a leading expert in AAV technology, abm offers a Custom AAV Service where we can help design, clone and/or viral package your custom AAV construct. We offer a range of AAV serotypes (1-11) as well as purifications including crude (ideal for in vitro experiments) and purified (optimal for in vivo experiments). Inquire with us below if you're looking for Custom Cloned AAV Vectors or Custom AAV Packaging. 


Advantages of the AAV System:

  • Used as a promising candidate for gene therapy
  • Does not elicit significant immune responses in vivo
  • Broad tropism - tissue specificity with different AAV serotypes
  • No integration into the host genome
  • Ability to transduce both proliferating and quiescent cells
  • Long-term expression in non-dividing cells

FAQs

Is your recombinant AAV replication-deficient?
Yes, the replication and capsid genes are provided in trans when the AAV is produced, therefore the packaged virion only has the ITR sequences and the gene of interest. Furthermore, the cis plasmid and rep/cap plasmid do not share any regions of homology, preventing the production of wild-type AAV through recombination system.
What is the packaging capacity for AAV?
The maximum insert size is < 4.4 kb.
Is AAV stable? What is the recommended storage temperature?
It is recommended to store AAV at -80˚C for long-term storage. For short-term, AAV is stable at 4˚C for up to three weeks without significant loss of activity.
How much AAV virus should be submitted for the Custom AAV Titration service, Cat# C238?
Please send at least 50μl of virus if it is low titer. If it is expected to be high titer AAV virus, please send at least 20μl of sample.
