MyoAAV-2A Serotype

Muscle-tropic AAV capsid from M-CREATE directed evolution with high skeletal and cardiac muscle transduction efficiency and a distinct biodistribution profile from MyoAAV-1A. Cross-species validated in mouse, pig, and non-human primate, enabling capsid selection tailored to specific disease indications. Alternative or comparator to MyoAAV-1A for muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy gene therapy.

Length: 1 bp

Tropism: Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, cross-species validated

Characteristics

Alternative capsid from M-CREATE selection. High muscle transduction efficiency. Cross-species validation in multiple models. Slightly different biodistribution versus myoAAV-1A. Reduced immunogenicity.

Applications

Muscular dystrophy gene therapy. Cardiac muscle disorders. Alternative to myoAAV-1A for specific applications.
