| abstract |
A recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector comprising an AAV capsid having a heterogeneous population of vp1 proteins, a heterogeneous population of vp2 protein and a heterogeneous population of vp3 proteins. The capsid contains modified amino acids as compared to the encoded VP 1 amino acid sequence, the capsid containing highly deamidated asparagine residues at asparagine - glycine pair, and further comprising multiple other, less deamidated asparagine and optionally glutamine residues. Methods of reducing deamidation in the AAV capsid of a rAAV are provided. |
