Adeno-associated virus,computer artwork. Adeno- associated viruses (AAVs) are the smallest known viruses to infect humans. They do not cause diseases,and only provoke a mild immune response. Because they incorporate their genetic material into a specific location within the host's genome,they have potential as a vector for gene therapy. The spiky protein coat (capsid,yellow) protects the genetic material (orange) | |
