Vectors based on hybrids consisting of adeno-associated virus types
2 (ITRs and Rep) and 5 (Cap) were evaluated for muscle-directed gene
transfer (called AAV2/5). Evaluation in immune-competent mice revealed
greater transduction efficacy with AAV2/5 than with AAV2 and no
cross-neutralization between AAV2/5 and AAV2. Interestingly, we saw no
immunologic evidence of previous exposure to AAV5 capsids in a large
population of healthy human subjects.
