A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035047A1) discloses a Rep/Helper plasmid containing specific polynucleotide sequences (SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2) that do not encode a cap gene. Additionally, the patent claims a composition comprising this plasmid along with a Payload/Cap plasmid (SEQ ID NO: 11) that lacks a polynucleotide sequence encoding a rep gene. The Payload/Cap plasmid includes a sequence encoding a cap gene selected from a wide range of AAV variants.
Furthermore, the patent details the insertion positions of the cap gene sequence within the Payload/Cap plasmid and the encoding of a payload transgene at specific positions. The transgene can be selected from a list of genes provided in the patent, including variants thereof. The composition is limited to no more than two distinct plasmids, with a specific ratio between the Rep/Helper plasmid and the Payload/Cap plasmid. The disclosed composition is intended for use in producing an AAV vector, and a method for manufacturing a packaged AAV vector involving the delivery of this composition to a cell is also described, with the optional use of a chemical transfection reagent.
