Abstract
Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) are the leading in vivo gene delivery platform, and have been extensively studied in gene therapy targeting various tissues, including the central nervous system (CNS). A single-bolus rAAV injection to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space has been widely used to target the CNS, but it suffers from several drawbacks, such as leakage to peripheral tissues. Here, a protocol is described using an osmotic pump to infuse rAAV slowly into the mouse CSF space. Compared to the single-bolus injection technique, pump infusion can lead to higher CNS transduction and lower transduction in the peripheral tissues.Entities:
