Adeno-associated virus (AAV) site-specific recombination does not require a Rep-dependent origin of replication within the AAV terminal repeat
13 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is the only known eukaryotic virus capable of targeted integration in human cells. An AAV Rep binding element (RBE) and terminal resolution site (trs) identical to the viral terminal repeats required for AAV DNA replication are located on chromosome (ch) 19. Both ch-19 RBE and trs elements have been shown to be essential for viral targeting to this locus. To characterize the role of...
