AAV2H22 Serotype
AAV2 variant evolved for enhanced airway epithelial transduction from the apical surface, enabling efficient lung gene delivery.
Characteristics
Peptide insertions conferring apical surface binding. Efficient transduction from airway lumen. Overcomes apical-basolateral polarity barrier. Enhanced respiratory tract tropism.
Applications
Cystic fibrosis gene therapy. Respiratory disease treatments. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Lung-directed gene transfer.
