The Effect of CpG Sequences on Capsid-Specific CD8+ T Cell Responses to AAV Vector Gene Transfer
21 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Transfer of genes by adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors is benefiting patients with particular genetic defects. Challenges remain by rejection of AAV-transduced cells, which may be caused by CD8 + T lymphocytes directed to AAV capsid antigens. Reducing the number of CpG motifs from the genome of AAV vectors reduces expansion of naive T cells directed against an epitope within the capsid. In contrast, AAV...
