Proposed model for rAAV integration at palindromes in either a cruciform or hairpin structure. In this model, hairpin loops of palindromic AAV-ITR and DNA palindromes on the genome are nicked, trimmed, and joined by cellular DNA repair mechanisms. Various degrees of host chromosomal DNA deletions occur at rAAV integration, resulting in exclusively center-deleted integrations.
