Abstract
Simplified methods to produce recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors are described. The AAV rep and cap genes are combined in a single recombinant adenovirus vector, i.e., a rep/cap adenovirus vector which combines in a single vector all complementing functions required for rAAV production. The rep/cap vectors of the present invention comprise: genes encoding helper functions, preferably from adenovirus, sufficient to permit AAV replication; and AAV cap and rep genes. In adenovirus rep/cap vectors the rep and cap genes may, for example, replace the adenovirus E3 gene or the adenovirus E1a and E1b genes.
