Objective: Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) type 2 is a common vector used in gene therapy. However, the presence of anti-AAV2 neutralizing antibodies or other neutralizing factors can significantly limit effective transduction. Intraperitoneal gene therapy could enable local delivery of the target gene directly to ovarian cancer cells. Until now, there have been no reports on the presence of anti-AAV antibodies in ascitic fluid, which might limit the effectiveness of rAAV as a candidate vector for intraperitoneal gene therapy. Thus, the characterization of the preexisting neutralization antibodies in ascitic fluid will provide insight into successful intraperitoneal gene therapy.
