Enhanced targeted gene transduction by AAV2 vectors is achieved by linking the vector to multiple sgc8 aptamers, which are selective for cell membrane protein PTK7. Aptamer molecules are conjugated to multiple sites on a DNA dendrimer (G-sgc8), which is then linked to AAV2 via a dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) cross-linker containing a disulfide group, which can facilitate the release of AAV2 vectors by reaction with the reduced form of intracellular glutathione. The G-sgc8-AAV2 vectors showe ...[more]
