AAV receptor revealed

Jan Carette group at Stanford University together with Michael Chapman group at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a key receptor for Adeno-asssociated viruses (AAV)!

Using the powerful haploid genetic screen approach, Jan Carette group at Stanford University together with Michael Chapman group at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a key receptor that facilitates AAV infection (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent...).
