Abstract

Objective  To explore the feasibility of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) as a vector for the gene therapy of liver cancer. Methods  The rAAV/enhance green fluorescein protein (EGFP) recombinant was prepared by the routine method of two plasmids cotransfection. Results  The experiment showed that one 10cm plate could produce 107-108 infection unit recombinant by the method of two plasmids cotransfection, and the transduction of HepG2 cell was increased with the increase of infection dosage of rAAV. About 100 multiplicity of infection (MOI) AAV vector could make all the tumor cell light. Conclusion  Liver cancer cell can be efficiently transduced by rAAV, and AAV vector may be a valuable vector for the gene therapy of liver cancer.
