Virus Core Facility Bonn
AAVs are small, single-stranded DNA viruses that are capable of infecting a wide variety of dividing and quiescent cell types. In biomedical research, AAVs offer exceptional versatility, both in basic science and in the context of disease-related research. These tools enable the exploration of protein and cellular functions, biological networks, and developmental processes while also facilitating the creation of disease models and the identification of potential therapeutic targets.


Getting started
AAVs are valuable tools for delivering transgenes and altering gene expression in basic and disease-related biomedical research.
