Kit for the preparation of AAV particles with the AAV2 serotype, without the use of a helper virus. The AAV particles produced with this system can be used to obtain transient expression of target genes in mammalian cells or individual animals. 

Isolation of AAV particles from AAV particle-producing cells is conventionally performed using the freeze-thaw or sonication methods. However, these methods are time consuming and require special equipment. The AAVpro Extraction Solution is a reagent for the extraction of AAV particles from AAV particle-producing cells. This reagent provides a simple and efficient method for AAV particle isolation; the reagents are added to virus-producing cells and viral particles are recovered by centrifugation. The extracted AAV particle solution contains only a small amount of host protein and nucleic acid contamination. The resulting viral extract is well-suited for cell infection or further purification of viral particles.
