First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 .- 46 . (canceled) 47 . An adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9) expression vector, comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding: (a) a Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR)-associated endonuclease; (b) a first guide RNA (gRNA), the first gRNA being complementary to a target sequence within a long terminal repeat (LTR) of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sequence, and wherein the first gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 207; and (c) a second gRNA, the second gRNA being complementary to a target sequence within a GagD region of the HIV sequence. 48 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 47 , wherein the CRISPR-associated endonuclease is Cas9 or a homologue thereof. 49 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 47 , wherein the first gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 207. 50 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 47 , wherein the first gRNA comprises a sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 207. 51 . An adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9) expression vector, comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding: (a) a Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR)-associated endonuclease; (b) a first guide RNA (gRNA), the first gRNA being complementary to a target sequence within a long terminal repeat (LTR) of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sequence; and (c) a second gRNA, the second gRNA being complementary to a target sequence within a GagD region of the HIV sequence, and wherein the second gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 92. 52 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 51 , wherein the CRISPR-associated endonuclease is Cas9 or a homologue thereof. 53 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 51 , wherein the second gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 92. 54 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 51 , wherein the second gRNA comprises a sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 92. 55 . An adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9) expression vector, comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding: (a) a Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR)-associated endonuclease; (b) a first guide RNA (gRNA), the first gRNA being complementary to a target sequence within a long terminal repeat (LTR) of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sequence, and wherein the first gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 207; and (c) a second gRNA, the second gRNA being complementary to a target sequence within a GagD region of the HIV sequence, and wherein the second gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 80% sequence identity SEQ ID NO: 92. 56 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 55 , wherein the CRISPR-associated endonuclease is Cas9 or a homologue thereof. 57 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 55 , wherein the first gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 207. 58 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 55 , wherein the first gRNA comprises a sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 207. 59 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 55 , wherein the second gRNA comprises a sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 92. 60 . The AAV9 expression vector of claim 55 , wherein the second gRNA comprises a sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 92.
