The patent application (Publication Number: US20230399657A1) discloses a novel recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid protein with specific amino acid sequences, distinct from the wild type, for potential therapeutic applications. The recombinant AAV capsid protein described in the claims features specific amino acid substitutions at positions 346, 501, 505, and 706 of the protein sequence, offering unique properties compared to the wild type capsid protein. Additionally, the patent covers variants of the recombinant AAV capsid protein belonging to various clades and with high sequence similarity to specific amino acid sequences.

Furthermore, the patent application encompasses methods for producing the recombinant AAV capsid protein, vectors containing the polynucleotide encoding the protein, recombinant cells expressing the protein, and recombinant AAVs incorporating the novel capsid protein for gene delivery and editing purposes. The disclosed methods include culturing recombinant cells under specific conditions to express the capsid protein, transducing cells with the recombinant AAV for gene delivery, and editing target loci in cell genomes using the recombinant AAV. Additionally, the patent application describes a packaging system comprising nucleotide sequences encoding AAV Rep proteins, the recombinant AAV capsid protein, and an rAAV genome sequence for the preparation of recombinant AAVs. Overall, the patent application presents a comprehensive framework for utilizing the novel recombinant AAV capsid protein in various biotechnological and therapeutic applications.
