Gene Therapy, AAV specificity using a promoter. How does it work ?
in Genetics
Posted · Edited by collegestudentRH
I am currently learning about optogenetics. In this technique they insert ChR2 into specific neurons using a AAV virus using a cell specific promoter.
How does a promoter drive the cell specifity of an adeno associated virus? Does it produce specific receptors on the virus membrane ?
