Innate immune response to AAV-based gene therapy vectors: Mechanisms of complement activation and cytokine release
12 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
gene delivery. However, the immune response to rAAV presents a major limitation, leading to serious adverse events in clinical trials. This study investigates the interaction between rAAV and the innate immune system. A whole blood assay (WBA) was used to assess complement activation and cytokine release upon stimulation with rAAV in 20 healthy blood donors. Results demonstrate that AAV2 and AAV8 capsids can...
