Gene therapy of HBV infection via adeno-associated viral vector mediated long term expression of small hairpin RNA (shRNA)
The invention provides a vector comprising an AAV-shRNA vector. The vector is preferably rAAV-151i/1694i. The invention also provides a method of suppressing or inhibiting HBV replication in liver cells infected therewith, comprising administering an amount of an AAVB-shRNA vector effective to suppress, inhibit or reduce HBV replication.
