Abstract: Provided herein are purification, production and manufacturing methods for recombinant viral vector particles such as recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector particles substantially free of empty viral particles; a population of recombinant adeno-associated vims (rAAV) particles purified using the method described herein, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the purified rAAV.

Abstract: Methods for Producing Populations of High Titer Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (rAAV) Lacking Prokaryotic Sequences are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that parvovirus (including AAV) capsids can be engineered to incorporate small, selective regions from other parvoviruses that confer desirable properties. The inventors have discovered that in some cases as little as a single amino acid insertion or substitution from a first parvovirus (e.g., an AAV) into the capsid structure of another parvovirus (e.g., an AAV) to create a chimeric parvovirus is sufficient to confer one or more of the desirable properties of the first parvovirus to the resulting chimeric parvovirus and/or to confer a property that is not exhibited by the first parvovirus or is present to a lesser extent.
