Capsid stabilities of PAV candidates as assessed by their abilities to protect their genomes from nuclease digestion. PAV candidates were incubated with benzonase nuclease to measure capsid stability. % genome protection was quantified with qPCR. Naked plasmid DNA is used as a control to ensure nuclease activity. Error bars represent SEM of two independent experiments performed in duplicate. Asterisk indicates p < 0.05 by student t test.
