This rapid and efficient method to prepare highly purified recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) is based on binding of negatively charged rAAV capsids to an anion-exchange resin that is pH dependent.

This is a simple method for rapid preparation of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) stocks, which can be used for in vivo gene delivery. The purity of these vectors is considerably lower than that obtained by either CsCl gradient centrifugation or by combination of iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation followed by column chromatography.

The most commonly used method for production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAVs) in research laboratories is by transient triple transfection of 293 cells with AAV cis and trans plasmids and an adenovirus helper plasmid. This protocol describes the processes required to prepare the transfected cell suspension for virus purification.
