Adenoviral-Mediated, High-Level, Cell-Specific Transgene Expression: A SYN1-WPRE Cassette Mediates Increased Transgene Expression with No Loss of Neuron Specificity

Abstract excerpt

Viral vectors are excellent tools for studying gene function in the brain, although a limitation has been the ability to effectively target transgene expression to specific neuronal populations. This generally cannot be overcome by the use of neuron-specific promoters, as most are too large to be used with current viral vectors and expression from these promoters is often relatively weak. We therefore developed a...
