Here we provide a detailed procedure for large-scale production of research-grade AAV vectors using adherent HEK 293 cells grown in cell stacks and affinity chromatography purification. This protocol consistently yields >1 x 1013 vector genomes/mL, providing vector quantities appropriate for large animal studies.
