Enhancing the clinical potential of AAV vectors by capsid engineering to evade pre-existing immunity

Vectors based on adeno-associated viruses have shown considerable promise in both preclinical models and increasingly in clinical trials. However, one formidable challenge is pre-existing immunity due to widespread exposure to numerous AAV variants and serotypes within the human population, which af...
