  • Abstract
    Gene therapy vehicles must be engineered to overcome numerous barriers that limit delivery efficiency. These barriers arise at every step of the delivery process, including the transit of the vector from injection to a cell surface, re ceptor binding and uptake, intracellular trafficking, and nuclear entry. The gene transfer properties of the highly promising adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector at each step are determined by its capsid structure.
