Abstract

This paper reports ultrasound-triggered adeno-associated-virus (AAV) release from alginate hydrogel microbeads loaded into a gelatin hydrogel carrier to promote the transfection of cells. As a AAV carrier, caldium alginate hydrogel microbeads were centrifugally fabricated by ejecting a mixed pre-gel solution composed of sodium alginate, AAV and tungsten particles to CaCl2 solution to form ionically cross-linked instantly. For fixing of the beads, the microbeads were loaded into gelatin hydrogel carriers. The tungsten particles having high acoustic impedance enable the beads to have high sensitivity to ultrasound for improvement of the transfection. Our proposed ultrasound-triggered AAV releasing system would be an effective controlled release system for gene therapy.
