Development of a reliable blood test for the detection of doping after intramuscular injection of recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors
Resource description
Project Title: Development of a reliable blood test for the detection of gene doping after intramuscular injection of recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors
Researchers: R.O. Snyder (University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA), P. Moullier (Nantes University, France)
Year accepted: 2007
Summary: With the development of potent gene transfer technology, the availability for illegal gene doping is becoming more likely. To stay ahead of this eventuality, we will empower WADA/IOC with the diagnostic capability to detect genetically modified athletes (GMA). We will develop sensitive detection methods to detect illegal AAV-based gene doping from simple blood samples.
