Experiment: Testing virus region 8 (VR8) mutant cross-species compatible Adeno Associated Viruses (ccAAVs) in mice.
PI: Aravind Asokan, PhD
Description: C57BL/6 mice (N=3) were injected intravenously at a dose of 5e13 vg/kg per mouse with a self-complementary AAV9 or ccAAV vector encoding a GFP reporter. The biodistribution of of virus transduction was chacterized in various tissues and cell types by fluorescence imaging quantification.
Delivery Assays:
- Native fluorescence was quantified using Image J. For each animal, 6 images were taken from 2 sections and used to calculate corrected total cell fluorescence using the formula: Integrated Density – (Area of selected image X Mean fluorescence of background readings).
- Relative neuronal transduction levels were quantified by counting the number of transduced neurons, identified based on morphology, for each brain region per 50um sagittal section
