Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for treating retinitis pigmentosa using an AAV particles encoding miR-708. In one aspect, viral particles are administered to the eye of a human subject; for example, by subretinal injection. Viral particles comprising AAV5 capsids or mutants thereof are contemplated.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for determining the serotype of a virus particle and/or or determining the heterogeneity of a virus particle (e.g., an AAV particle). In other embodiments, the invention provides methods to determine the heterogeneity of AAV particles. In some aspects, the invention provides viral particles (e.g., rAAV particles) with improved stability and/or improved transduction efficiency by increasing the acetylation and/or deamidation of capsid proteins.
Abstract:
Provided herein are RNAi molecules including a first strand containing a guide sequence and a second strand comprising a non-guide sequence where the non-guide sequence contains a bulge opposite the seed region of the guide sequences; e.g., opposite the cleavage sequence. In some aspects, the invention provides RNAi for treating Huntington's disease. Further provided herein are expression cassettes, vectors (e.g., rAAV, recombinant adenoviral, recombinant lentiviral, and recombinant HSV vectors), cells, viral particles, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the RNAi. Yet further provided herein are methods and kits related to the use of the RNAi, for example, to treat Huntington's disease.

Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating disorders or injuries that affect motor function and control in a subject. In one aspect, the invention a transgene product is delivered to a subject's spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the brain. The viral vector delivers the transgene to a region of the brain which is susceptible to infection by the virus and which expresses the encoded recombinant viral gene product. Also provided are compositions for delivery of a transgene product to a subject's spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the subject's brain.

This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating disorders or injuries that affect motor function and control in a subject. In one aspect, the invention provides a method to deliver a transgene to a subject's spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotropic viral vector containing the transgene. The viral vector delivers the transgene to a region of the deep cerebellar nuclei region of the brain. Also provided are compositions and methods to deliver a transgene to a subject's spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotropic viral vector containing the transgene to the motor cortex region of the subject's brain.
