Adeno-associated virus type 1 corrects storage lesions in enzyme-deficient mice
July 24th, 2003
Adeno-associated virus type 1 corrects storage lesions in enzyme-deficient mice. According to published research from the United States, "Inherited metabolic disorders that affect the central nervous system typically result in pathology throughout the brain; thus, gene therapy strategies need to achieve widespread delivery. We previously found that although intraventricular injection of the neonatal mouse brain with adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2) results in dispersed gene delivery, many brain structures were poorly transduced. This limitation may be overcome by using different AAV serotypes because the capsid proteins use different cellular receptors for...
