[0212] Preparation of carrier

[0213] The carrier of the present invention can be prepared by a standard method known in the art for providing a vector of gene therapy. Therefore, mature common domain transfections, packaging and purification methods can be used to prepare suitable carrier preparations.

[0214] As discussed above, in addition to the polynucleotide sequence encoding ND4, ND6 or ND1 or variants, the vector of the present invention may further comprise a genome of naturally occurring AAV virus. However, a derivatized genome will be used, for example, having at least one end reverse repeat sequence (ITR) but may lack any AAV gene such as REP or CAP.

[0215] In such an embodiment, in order to assemble the derivatization gene into AAV viral particles, additional genetic constructs providing AAV and / or auxiliary viral function will be provided in the host cell to the derivatized genome combination. These additional constructs typically contain genes encoding a genet...

[0329]Example 1-ND4 plasmid and virus preparation

[0330] 1.1 plasmid preparation

[0331] Nucleotide sequences of human ND4 (SEQ ID NO: 6) were obtained based on the US National Biotechnology Information Center Reference Sequence YP_003024035.1. The sequence of non-optimized mitochondrial targeting sequence COX10 is SEQ ID NO: 1. The optimized sequence (OPT_COX10, SEQ ID NO: 2) of the mitochondrial targeting sequence COX10 and the coding sequence of the human ND4 (OPT_ND4, SEQ ID NO: 7) to improve transcription efficiency and translation efficiency. After the unopened COX10-ND4 has about 75.89% homology optimized COX10-ND4 sequence, it is the three start-independent districts of recombinant nucleic acid OPT_COX10-OPT_ND4-3'UTR (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 31) (ie , 3'UTR, SEQ ID NO: 13).

[0332] The synthetic recombinant nucleic acid OPT_COX10-OPT_ND4-3'UTR was incorporated into the adenocarid virus (AAV) vector by PCR amplification. figure 1 ). The OPT_COX10-OPT_ND4-3'UTR is cut by Ec...

Embodiment 2

[0342] Example 2 - Raav2 in the rabbit eye glass

[0343] Twelve rabbits were divided into 2 groups: RAAV2-ND4 and RAAV2-optimized ND4. The viral solution (1 × 10 10 Vg / 0.05 mL) was pierced into the glass body cavity from 3 mm of the corneal edge of the flat portion. After injection in the glass, the eye is checked by a crack lamp check and the fundus photographic examination. Injection for 30 days. RT-PCR detection and immunoblot were carried out in each group.
