Recombinant Virus
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) belong to the Parvoviridae family, comprising a group of small-sized non-enveloped viruses with an icosahedral capsid carrying a single-stranded DNA genome of approximately 4.7 kilobases (kb). AAV is one of the most popular gene delivery vehicles due to its multiple, wide-ranging tropism profiles, low immunogenicity, long-term stable gene expression, and strong diffusion capabilities.
At OBiO, we can supply you a holistic vector design, gene synthesis, plasmid and AAV producing services. From idea to AAV, we can help you to delivery gene to any kind of cell you want to target, both in vivo and in vitro.
* We offer a variety of packaging systems for AAV vectors, in addition to the traditional Triple Plasmid System, we can also provide the dual plasmid system and sf9-baculovirus for Production of AAV, and we offer large scale AAV preps are produced in cell factory or shake flask.
*Available purification method: ultracentrifugation, chromatography
| Types of AAV we offered
*Single-stranded AAV(ssAAV) and self-complementary AAV(scAAV).
*100+ different serotypes available:AAV1-9, AAV-PHP.eB, AAV-PHP.S, AAV2-retro, AAV-ie, AAV-LungM3, AAV-LungX, AAV-GC01, AAV-GC02, AAV-GC03, AAV-GC13, AAV-DJ, AAV2.7m8, AAV6.2ff, AAV-PAN, AAVRec2, AAVrh10, custom AAV serotype

* Guaranteed titers are suit for regular packaging, in which, (1) the payload gene size cannot exceed the AAV packaging capacity (4.7 kb from ITR to ITR), (2) you can choose AAV1, AAV5, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-retro, AAV-PHP.eB, AAV-PHP.S, AAV-ie, AAV-LungM3, AAV-LungX, AAV-DJ, AAV2.7m8, AAV-PAN, AAVRec2 or AAVrh10 to package your GOI.
* For big size gene packaging or low-yield AAV serotypes, or novel AAV, we can supply you the virus with typical titer > 5E+12 vg/mL, any needs could be inquired.
* For GMP-similar grade AAV producing, we can supply you AAV manufacturing with multi-serotypes, any needs could be inquired.
* Turnaround time depends on the complexity of gene synthesis, vector construction and kind of AAV serotype. Listed time is an estimated time. We will report you a confirmed time based on the technical proposal.
