Disease Modeling

Advanced viral vector solutions for precise and reliable disease modeling and therapeutic research.

Benefits of Using AAV
for Disease Modeling

Targeted Delivery

AAV vectors can be engineered to target specific tissues or cells, making them ideal for disease modeling with tissue-specific conditions.

Stable Expression

AAV provides long-term gene expression, crucial for chronic diseases requiring extended observation.

Low Immunogenicity

AAV vectors have lower immune system activation, reducing interference with disease model results.

Non-pathogenic

AAV is non-pathogenic to humans, ensuring safe use in disease models without added risks.

How Vectors Work

for Disease Modeling

Vectors enable the delivery of specific genes to replicate or study disease conditions. By introducing disease-related genes or manipulating gene function (e.g., knock-in, knock-out, silencing), researchers can mimic genetic disorders and observe cellular effects. Vectors like AAV offer stable, long-term gene expression, ideal for chronic diseases. They also facilitate testing of potential therapies by introducing therapeutic genes or silencing disease-causing genes, helping develop targeted treatments. Overall, vectors provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

Use Case

A clinical-stage biotech company needed to develop a small molecule-based therapy to treat kidney disease. Traditionally, this would require creating transgenic mice expressing the human gene of their target, a process that takes 6 to 12 months. Instead, the company chose to use AAV to deliver the human gene into mice directly as the replacement for transgenic mouse model.

Vector Biolabs helped by constructing and producing AAV stocks, which were injected directly into the mice. This allowed the company to screen their small molecule library in vivo within weeks, saving 6 to 12 months of development time.

 The best candidate from the screen is now in Phase 1 clinical trials.
