Case Study
Case Study 1
AAV-PHP (Adeno-Associated Virus-PHP) capsid engineering marks a pivotal advance in central nervous system (CNS) research, enabling efficient gene expression modulation in the brain. These capsids, capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, selectively transduce brain cells after systemic intravenous delivery, dependent on the Ly6a genotype. To assess efficiency, researchers utilized the Opera Phenix system with Harmony software, automating data segmentation into brain regions. Employing the AAV-PHP.B virus, the study rapidly and comparably quantified transduction efficiencies across the entire brain, cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. The results highlight consistent neuronal percentages and transduction rates, emphasizing the versatility of AAV in CNS research. This methodology, characterized by speed and reliability, provides a streamlined approach for assessing various parameters of interest through fluorescent signals.
Figure. 1 Mice brains immunostained after 3 weeks revealed even GFP distribution in C57BL/6J, confirming AAV-PHP.B-CAG-NLS-GFP crossed the BBB. In CBA/Ca mice, the GFP signal was absent, indicating distinct transduction responses. AAV proves crucial for brain gene expression insights. (Smith E J, et al., 2021).
Case Study 2
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have become a widely adopted, safe, and efficient means of delivering genetic material to the central nervous system (CNS). AAV-PHP.B and AAV-PHP.eB, variants derived from AAV9, exhibit broader cell transduction throughout the CNS compared to the original serotype, AAV9. In an evaluation involving rhesus macaque monkeys, lumbar intrathecal delivery of AAV-PHP.eB:CAG-EGFP demonstrated superior and widespread CNS transduction in comparison to AAV-PHP.B. Both variants showed robust tropism for neurons and oligodendroglial cells in the putamen and hippocampus. This proof-of-concept experiment underscores the potential of intrathecal AAV-PHP.eB infusions for precise and cell-type-specific distribution of genetic material within the CNS. This approach introduces a promising avenue for modeling brain diseases in rhesus macaques and advancing gene therapies targeting the human CNS, with AAV playing a pivotal role in these advancements.
Figure 2. AAV-PHP.eB: CAG-EGFP demonstrated superior GFP transduction efficiency in a pilot study with NHPs, confirming the potential of AAV9-derived variants for neural cell transduction after intrathecal delivery. Both monkeys tolerated the vectors well, and qualitative and quantitative assessments revealed extensive and intense EGFP expression in AAV-PHP.eB-injected monkey's CNS compared to AAV-PHP.B.
