Abstract excerpt
The adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) genome contains inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of 145 nucleotides. The terminal 125 nucleotides of each ITR form palindromic hairpin (HP) structures that serve as primers for AAV DNA replication. These HP structures also play an important role in integration as well as rescue of the proviral genome from latently infected cells or from recombinant AAV plasmids. Each ITR...
