GlossaryAdeno-Associated Virus (AAV)

small virus used in gene therapy for precise genetic delivery

Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) is a small virus that infects humans but is not known to cause disease. It is commonly used in gene therapy because it can deliver genetic material into cells with high precision and low immune response.
