What Does AAV Stand For?
AAV stands for Adeno Associated Virus
AAV, or Adeno Associated Virus, is a small, non-enveloped virus that belongs to the parvovirus family. It is commonly used in gene therapy as a vector for delivering genetic material into host cells due to its ability to integrate into the host genome and its low immunogenicity. AAV has shown promise in treating various genetic disorders, making it a valuable tool in modern biotechnology and medicine.
