Safety of Direct Administration of AAV2 _CU hCLN2, a Candidate Treatment for the Central Nervous System Manifestations of Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, to the Brain of Rats and Nonhuman Primates

Abstract excerpt

Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL), a pediatric autosomal recessive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, results from mutations in the CLN2 gene and consequent deficiency in tripeptidyl-peptidase I (TPP-I) and progressive destruction of neurons. We have previously demonstrated that CNS gene transfer of AAV2(CU)hCLN2 (an AAV2-based vector expressing the human CLN2 cDNA) in rats and...
