Abstract

See full text

Described herein are constructions of recombinant DNA comprising modified adeno-associated virus (AAV) DNA sequences capable of functioning as a eukaryotic expression vector for expressing foreign DNA sequences using a novel transcription promoter comprising the termini of AAV DNA. It is shown that expression of a test reporter gene can be obtained from this vector in mammalian cells. It is further shown that this combination of vector and promoter can be used to introduce and express a human gene and correct a genetic defect in human cells resulting from malfunction of the mutant endogenous gene. Further, the vector can be used to correct the genetic defect by expressing a modified version of the human gene consisting of a fusion of part of the said gene and a synthetic sequence contained in the vector.
