Problems solved by technology

Effective treatment of neurologic disorders has been hindered by problems associated with the delivery of AAV vectors to affected cell populations.
This delivery issue has been especially problematic for disorders involving the cerebral cortex.
Simple injections do not distribute AAV vectors effectively, relying on diffusion, which is effective only within a 1- to 3-mm radius.

d GFP Expression after Intrastriatal AAV1 Vector Delivery

[0201]The ability of AAV1 to efficiently target both striatal and cortical structures in the Rhesus monkey brain when delivered via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) was evaluated. AAV vectors containing GFP cDNA under the control of cytomegalovirus enhancer / chicken beta-actin (CBA) promoter were infused into the caudate and putamen of 9 adult male Rhesus monkeys using CED (see, e.g., Bankiewicz et al., (2000) Exp. Neurol. 164:2-14 and WO 2010 / 088560).

[0202]Methods

Surgical Delivery

[0203]Nine adult male Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta; 8.9-11.9 kg) were included in this study. All animals received an infusion of AAV vector bilaterally into caudate nucleus and putamen by means of MRI-guided CED (Richardson, R. M. et al. (2011) Neurosurgery 69:154-163; Richardson, R. M. et al. (2011) Stereotact. Funct. Neurosurg. 89:141-151; Richardson, R. M. et al. (2011)Mol. Ther. 19:1048-1057). Immediately prior to surgery, animals were anest...

d GFP Expression after Intrastriatal AAV2 Vector Delivery

[0238]The ability of AAV2 to efficiently target both striatal and cortical structures in the Rhesus monkey brain when delivered via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) was evaluated. AAV vectors containing GFP cDNA under the control of cytomegalovirus enhancer / chicken beta-actin (CBA) promoter were infused into the caudate and putamen of 8 adult Rhesus monkeys using CED according to the methods described in Example 1 above.

[0239]Infusion of AAV2 into the striatum by CED resulted in GFP expression in the injected regions (caudate and putamen) (FIG. 4C), substantia nigra (FIG. 4D), and a large number of cortical regions of the Rhesus monkey brain (FIGS. 4A-D). Expression of GFP in the striatum of AAV2 injected animals appeared slightly more restricted and localized when compared to striatal coverage with AAV1 vectors. The expression of GFP within the NHP striatum was comprehensive but relatively contained within the gray matter b...

lity of GFP Expression after Intrastriatal AAV1 and AAV2 Vectors Made by Triple Transfection or Producer Cell Line Process

[0240]To date the majority of preclinical studies utilize AAV vectors made by Triple Transfection followed by purification using cesium chloride gradients or column chromatography. Thus, to evaluate the impact of vector production on biodistribution in vivo, two methods of vector production Triple Transfection (TT) or Producer Cell line (PCL), were compared. AAV1 and AAV2 vectors generated by these two different manufacturing platforms were administered via CED, and their distribution within the Rhesus monkey brain was compared.

[0241]Infusion of AAV1-GFP vectors made by triple transfection yielded equivalent GFP distribution and coverage when compared to AAV1-GFP vectors made by the producer cell line process. GFP distribution was comparable between AAV1-GFP (TT) (FIGS. 5C&D) and AAV1-GFP (PCL) (FIGS. 5A&B) vectors 30 days following injection into the striatum of...

Abstract

Provided herein are novel methods for delivering recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) particles to the central nervous system of a mammal (e.g., a human). In aspects, the methods involve administering rAAV particles containing a heterologous nucleic acid to the striatum and causing expression of the heterologous nucleic acid in at least the cerebral cortex and the striatum of the mammal.
