A method of producing an adeno-associated virus (AAV) in an insect cell
comprising (i) providing at least one insect cell-compatible vector
comprising a first nucleotide sequence comprising at least one AAV ITR
nucleotide sequence, a second nucleotide sequence containing an open
reading frame encoding AAV VP1, VP2, and VP3 capsid proteins, a third
nucleotide sequence comprising a Rep52 or a Rep40 coding sequence, and a
fourth nucleotide sequence comprising a Rep78 or a Rep68 coding sequence,
(ii) introducing the at least one insect cell-compatible vector into an
insect cell, and (iii) maintaining the insect cell under conditions such
that AAV is produced. Also provided are recombinant AAV made in
accordance with the method, insect cell-compatible vectors, and insect
cells comprising nucleotide sequences for production of AAV in an insect
cell.
