Viral mechanisms for the delivery of genetic material are widely used in molecular medicine. Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAV) represent a promising tool for in vivo gene delivery. The review considers nosological spectrum, molecular mechanisms, the choice of drug administration route depending on target structures, the choice of serotype, and the methods of active ingredient manufacturing for rAAV-mediated gene therapy.
Keywords: gene therapy, adeno-associated viruses, AAV, rAAV
