Improving viral vector safety for gene therapies

Drug Discovery World

Integrating vectors such as lentivirus stably insert their payload into the host cell genome, which is advantageous for long-term treatment. Depending on the delivery mechanism, the therapeutic gene product may or may not integrate into the genome. The frequency of AAV integration has been estimated at 0.1% to 10% in hepatocytes.
