Abstract
Disclosed are compositions and methods for producing modified adeno-associated virus (AAV) cap genes and combinatorial libraries of chimeric AAV vectors and virions; selecting for virions displaying cell-specific tropisms; and, in certain embodiments, producing helper vectors containing one or more modified AAV cap genes. The synthetic combinatorial AAV capsid libraries of the invention are useful in introducing into selected target host cells one or more nucleic acid molecules. The viral vectors and genetic constructs disclosed herein are also useful in a variety of diagnostic and/or therapeutic gene-therapy regimens.
