Leading innovators in transcription factors for AAV for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

There are two main genes in the AAV genome, rep and cap, which encode nine different proteins. Transcription of the rep gene is initiated from the p5 or p19 promoters to, respectively, produce the large (Rep78 and Rep68) and small (Rep52 and Rep40) nonstructural Rep proteins.
