Abstract Adeno-associated virus AAV has shown great promise as a gene transfer vector. However the incubation time needed to attain significant levels of gene expression is often too long for some clinical applications. Self-complementary AAV scAAV enters the cell as double stranded DNA eliminating the step of second-strand synthesis proven to be the rate-limiting step for gene expression of single-stranded AAV ssAAV . The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of these two types of AAV vectors in the murine myocardium. Four day old CD-1 mice were injected with either of the two AAV constructs both expressing GFP and
