Abstract excerpt
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are of interest in the context of gene therapy because of their ability to mediate efficient transfer and stable expression of therapeutic genes in a wide variety of tissues. However, AAV-mediated gene delivery to specific cell populations is often precluded by the widespread distribution of heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), the primary cellular receptor for the...
