AAV PLASMID SYNTHESIS

 

With over a decade of experience synthesizing DNA, GENEWIZ has developed a unique adeno-associated virus (AAV) plasmid synthesis service, the first of its kind on the market. This service provides researchers working with adeno-associated virus vectors with synthesis and cloning of transgene expression cassettes into custom AAV vectors with high efficiencies. GENEWIZ’s AAV plasmid synthesis service comes bundled with our new AAV plasmid preparation protocol to deliver mini- to giga-scale AAV plasmids that have been sequence-verified by our AAV-ITR Sanger sequencing service.

We understand the importance of intact inverted terminal repeat (ITR) regions in downstream AAV gene therapy applications, as seen in recent publications, therefore GENEWIZ maintains a 2-step QC process and ITR correction by gene synthesis to ensure the integrity of your ITR regions.

GENEWIZ INVERTED TERMINAL REPEAT (ITR) CORRECTION

Original AAV inverted terminal repeat shows a deletion mutation. Regular PCR amplification cannot repair the sequence due to its repetitive nature. GENEWIZ can successfully deliver repaired inverted terminal repeat regions through specific ITR correction technique.

IMPORTANCE OF INTACT ITR REGIONS IN AAV GENE THERAPY RESEARCH

Each inverted terminal repeat region is important in downstream AAV gene therapy applications*
