Parkinson-like neurodegeneration induced by targeted overexpression of alpha-synuclein in the nigrostriatal system.
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors display efficient tropism for transduction of the dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra. Taking advantage of this unique property of recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors, we expressed wild-type and A53T mutated human alpha-synuclein in the nigrostriatal dopamine neurons of adult rats for up to 6 months. Cellular and axonal pathology, including...
