Adeno-associated virus (AAV), part of the parvovirus family, features a single-stranded DNA genome of approximately 4.8 kb and lacks an envelope. Infectious AAV can only be produced in the host with the assistance of helper viruses such as adenovirus or herpes virus.

The recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV) utilized in research is a modified gene vector derived from the non-pathogenic wild-type AAV. AAV comprises various serotypes, distinguished primarily by their capsid proteins. These proteins interact with distinct extracellular receptor molecules, resulting in varying targeting affinities for tissues or organs. With over 12 serotypes and more than 100 variants, AAV is renowned for its high safety, low immunogenicity, and prolonged expression cycle, making it the ideal tool for in vivo studies of gene function.
