Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAVs)
• Wild-type AAV: • Parvovirus not associated with pathology• ~ 20 nm• ssDNA ~4.7 kb• Genome:
• 2 inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) • 2 open reading frames (ORFs)
• Rep (4 proteins in replication) = Rep78, Rep68, Rep52, Rep40 • Cap (3 proteins in capsid formation) = VP1, VP2, VP3 (virion particle)
• Integrates into AAVS1 on human chromosome 19
• Good resources for information:• https://www.addgene.org/viral-vectors/aav/aav-guide/• http://ppn.med.sc.edu/Adeno-associated.Virus.asp• http://vectorbiolabs.com/vbs/page.html?m=281

AAVs in Research
• In research use recombinant AAV (rAAV) depleted of rep and cap genes • Virus does not replicate• Only leaves ITRs around gene of
interest
• Maintained extrachromosomally
• Many serotypes

• Produce recombinant AAVs by co-transfecting 3 plasmids in cell line:
1. rAAV vector (gene of interest with ITRs)
2. AAV replication and cap genes
3. Helper genes
• Isolate virus
• Many companies do this, cheap to buy

AAV Serotypes
• AAV2 one of most widely used serotypes but low transduction efficiency
• AAV Pseudotyping• AAV2 genomes in capsids from other AAVs• Eg. rAAV2/5
• Genome based on AAV2, capsid based on AAV5• Tropism should be same as AAV5
• AAV2/5 more widely distributed in brain, better transduction efficiency than AAV2/2
• Multiple serotypes, eg. AAV-DJ hybrid capsid from eight serotypes • Higher transduction efficiency compared to wt

So which serotype to use?
1. Read the literature to see which serotype would be optimal• Aschauer DF, Kreuz S, Rumpel S (2013) Analysis of transduction efficiency, tropism and axonal
transport of AAV serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 in the mouse brain. Plos One 8: 1-16.

Neuron-Specific AAV Promoter
• Synapsin 1 good for general neuronal expression• Hioki H, Nakamura H, Okunomiya T, Ohira K, Nakamura K, Kuroda M et al (2007) Efficient
gene transduction of neurons by lentivirus with enhanced neuron-specific promoters. Gene Therapy 14: 872-882.

Buying AAVs
• Need to fill out MTA forms (Material Transfer Agreement)• https://uilo.ubc.ca/researchers/forms-and-templates
• Example of cost:• From Laval with internal pricing 100 μl aliquot = $200

BUT… before you buy/receive AAVs
• Need in place:1. Biosafety Certificate (with Biohazard Assessment)
2. Animal Care Protocol for in vivo work
• These applications are completed on RISe (Research Information Services)• https://www.rise.ubc.ca
• Might be amendment or new application
• Use other labs’ protocols as templates• We (MacVicar lab) based ours off of Snutch protocol (thank you!)

1. Biosafety Certificate
https://ors.ubc.ca/compliance-reporting/compliance-requirements/biosafety
• What’s included:1) Study team 2) Funding sources3) Procedures and Methodology 4) Recombinant Viral Vectors 5) Ethics
• Possibly add as amendment
• Also need Biohazard Risk Assessment (component of Biosafety Certificate)

Biosafety for Viruses
• CL = containment Level
• RG = Risk Group
• AAVs:• CL1 (RG1) • Advantageous, less paperwork/equipment
• Lentivirus:• Mainly CL2 (RG3)• Or CL2 with CL3 Procedures

Handling AAVs
• Keep AAVs on ice• Aliquot in Class 2 Biosafety Hood
• Small volumes (eg. 5 μl in Eppendorfs, avoid repeated freezing-thawing)• Can be freeze-thawed several times without loss in activity but should avoid • Stanford Vector Core – Care and Handling of AAVs:
http://med.stanford.edu/gvvc/AAV.html
• Store at -80 oC• Dispose of AAV + related material (eg. pipette tips) in 10 % bleach > 30 min
(in beaker)• When handling PPE
• N95 respirator• Gloves• Lab coat

Animal Care Protocol for in vivo work
• What’s included:1) Study team 2) Study Dates and Funding 3) Animal Information & Type of Animal Review4) Animal Information, Procedures, Justification5) Animal Monitoring6) Drugs and Chemicals
• Vet viewing/approval for members performing procedure
• Animal Care Committee meets once a month, can take a while to get new application submitted: • https://animalcare.ubc.ca/animal-care-committee/process/submission-deadlines• But once application approved, can make amendments (faster)
