The Effect of Rapamycin and Ibrutinib on Antibody Responses to Adeno-Associated Virus Vector-Mediated Gene Transfer.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene transfer is lessening the impact of monogenetic disorders. Human AAV gene therapy recipients commonly mount immune responses to AAV or the encoded therapeutic protein, which requires transient immunosuppression. Most efforts to date have focused on blunting AAV capsid-specific T cell responses, which have been implicated in elimination of AAV-transduced cells.
