Abstract: A composition for delivering at least one DNA sequence encoding a desired protein or polypeptide (such as a therapeutic agent) to a cell. The composition comprises an adeno-associated virus rep protein (or a nucleic acid sequence encoding an adeno-associated virus rep protein) and a genetic construct including at least one DNA sequence encoding a protein or polypeptide or genetic transcript of interest and a promoter controlling the at least one DNA sequence. The genetic construct also includes a first adeno-associated virus ITR or protein or derivative thereof and a second adeno-associated virus ITR or a portion or derivative thereof. The first and second adeno-associated virus ITRs or portions or derivatives thereof flank the at least one DNA sequence encoding the protein or polypeptide or genetic transcript of interest and the promoter controlling the at least one DNA sequence encoding the protein or polypeptide or genetic transcript of interest.

Abstract: A method of producing an adeno-associated virus (AAV) in an insect cell comprising (i) providing at least one insect cell-compatible vector comprising a first nucleotide sequence comprising at least one AAV ITR nucleotide sequence, a second nucleotide sequence containing an open reading frame encoding AAV VP1, VP2, and VP3 capsid proteins, a third nucleotide sequence comprising a Rep52 or a Rep40 coding sequence, and a fourth nucleotide sequence comprising a Rep78 or a Rep68 coding sequence, (ii) introducing the at least one insect cell-compatible vector into an insect cell, and (iii) maintaining the insect cell under conditions such that AAV is produced. Also provided are recombinant AAV made in accordance with the method, insect cell-compatible vectors, and insect cells comprising nucleotide sequences for production of AAV in an insect cell.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adeno-associated virus 4 (AAV4) virus and vectors and particles derived therefrom. In addition, the present invention provides methods of delivering a nucleic acid to a cell using the AAV4 vectors and particles.
