Rabbit Anti-Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) 4 VP3 Polyclonal Antibody

The capsid VP3 protein of adeno-associated virus 4 (AAV4) is a key component of the virus's capsid, which is the protein shell that encloses the viral genome. AAV4 is one of the numerous serotypes of AAVs, each with distinct characteristics that influence their tropism and efficiency in gene therapy applications. The VP3 protein, along with other capsid proteins, contributes to the overall structure and function of the AAV4 capsid. The VP3 protein plays a crucial role in the virus's ability to target specific cell types and evade the host immune system. It is involved in the early stages of infection, including binding to cell surface receptors and initiating the internalization process. The unique properties of the VP3 protein, such as its antigenic profile and receptor-binding specificity, can affect the transduction efficiency of AAV4 in various tissues.
