Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods for generating high titer, contaminant free, recombinant AAV vectors, methods and genetic constructs for producing recombinant AAV vectors conveniently and in large quantities, methods for the delivery of all essential viral proteins required in trans for high yields of recombinant AAV, recombinant AAV vectors for use in gene therapy, novel packaging cell lines which obviate the need for cotransfection of vector and helper plasmids, helper plasmids and vector plasmid backbone constructs, a reporter assay for determining AAV vector yield. Further provided are recombinant AAV vectors in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, methods of delivering a transgene of interest to a cell, compositions and methods for delivering a DNA sequence encoding a desired polypeptide to a cell, and transgenic non-human mammals that express a human chromosome 19 AAV integration locus.
