PackGene’s AAV-HBV carries a 1.3×HBV full-length genome, and a mouse model of persistent HBV infection can be prepared by one-time tail vein injection of AAV-HBV. This approach has several advantages including simple preparation, high success rate, uniformity, stability, a well-characterized dose-effect relationship, and a wide application range. Furthermore, the HBV-AAV mouse model has been validated and used across a wide range of HBV drug evaluations and vaccine screenings.
In addition to the advantages listed above, use of the AAV-HBV mouse model can greatly shorten preparation time for in vivo hepatitis B infection therapy research and development. This, when paired with the model’s low cost, can help accelerate the development of hepatitis B drug research and treatment programs. PackGene’s AAV-HBV viral vectors provide long terms stable expression of hepatitis B antigen for the fast and safe modeling of HBV.
PackGene’s rAAV offers unparalleled safety compared to Lentivirus and Adenovirus, with minimal risk of genome integration, low immunogenicity, and high operational safety. It’s widely used for long-term gene expression, lasting over a decade in some cases, and its diverse serotypes enable organ-specific targeting, such as AAV8’s preference for liver research and its role in creating the AAV-HBV mouse model.
Highest Security
Compared with Lentivirus and Adenovirus, rAAV shows outstanding safety advantages including an low probability of genome integration, low immunogenicity, and high experimental operation safety.
Long-term Transduction
Over the past 20 years, rAAV has been commonly used as a tool for efficient and long-term gene expression in basic research and clinical gene therapy. For example, rAAV induced transgene expression in non-human primate muscle tissue can last for more than 10 years.
Organ Specificity
The capsid proteins of different AAV serotypes recognize different receptors on the cell surface, cell infection efficiency varies across tissues, indicating organ targeting specificity. AAV8 is frequently used in liver research and is therefore the serotype of choice for generation of the AAV-HBV mouse model.
Low Empty Shell
AAV-HBV TEM detects empty shell rate is below 30%
Low Endotoxin
Low endotoxin levels with <10EU/ml – suitable for animal experiments.
AAV-HBV Mycoplasma Test Negative

| AAV-D#2012 | ssAAV-HBV-D,ayw | HBV-D, serotype ayw (The AAV virus harbors the l.3XHBV genome, belonging to genotype D and serotype ayw. This strain is capable of generating HBV DNA, HBeAg, and HBsAg. Originally employed in cell models and transgenic animals, it has become extensively utilized in contemporary HBV research. It is suitable for both cell and animal experiments.) |

The C-type HBV is a prevalent strain in mainland China, known for its strong pathogenicity, although its mechanism remains unclear. It should be given careful consideration in drug development. Suitable for both cell and animal experiments.) |
| AAV-C-542 | ssAAV-HBV-B, adw | HBV-B, serotype adw (The AAV virus harbors the 13XHBV genome, characterized by genotype B and serotype adw. It has the ability to produce HBV DNA, HBeAg, and HBsAg. Although the B-type HBV is also common in mainland China, its pathogenicity is comparatively weaker than that of the C-type. However, it still warrants attention in drug development. Suitable for both cell and animal experiments.) |

In 1994, the safety of rAAV as a gene therapy vector was recognized by the FDA. AAV are classified as biological safety is Grade 1 (BSL-1), which is the same as that of plasmid DNA. It is nevertheless recommended to adhere to BSL-2 laboratory precautions with a ClassⅡ biological safety cabinet for use.
Store the virus at -80°C and place it on ice during operation.
Calculate your expected usage in advance and PackGene will aliquot your virus according to your pre-determined requirements. This can help avoid unnecessary thawing and re-freezing after receiving your AAVs since freeze thaw cycles influence virus viability. If aliquoting is required, it is recommended to use PCR tubes with siliconized inner walls, or special virus preservation tubes with low protein binding rates.
Thaw your virus aliquots in an ice bath immediately before use.
Dilute with PBS or PBS / 0.001% F-68 if needed.
Individual differences between operators and regional mouse available may result in inter-lab differences in AAV-HBV transgene expression. We therefore strongly recommended that a gradient of 3 to 4 AAV-HBV volumes injection be tested before formal experiments are carried out. For example, we may recommend testing a total of three serial dilutions: 1E+11GC; 2E+11GC; 3E+11GC.
