  • Publication number: 20240084326
    Abstract: In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a mutated adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid protein or fragment thereof wherein a substitution of a wild type non-cysteine amino acid into a cysteine is present whereby the wild type non-cysteine amino acid is exposed on the outer surface of the capsid of an AAV particle. In a further aspect, a mutated AAV particle comprising the AAV capsid protein or fragment thereof according to the present invention is provided. In addition, a nucleic acid encoding the AAV capsid protein according to the present invention is identified together with a corresponding nucleic acid vector, in particular, a plasmid or a gene string. In addition, a host cell containing the nucleic acid vector or the nucleic acid according to the present invention as well as a composition comprising at least an infectious (transducing) AAV particle containing a mutated AAV capsid protein as defined herein together with a non-infectious AAV particle containing a mutated AAV capsid protein as e.
