Prevention of Photoreceptor Cell Loss in a Cln6 Mouse Model of Batten Disease Requires CLN6 Gene Transfer to Bipolar Cells
2 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
mice presented mainly with photoreceptor degeneration, supplementation of CLN6 in photoreceptors was not beneficial. Because the level of CLN6 is low in photoreceptors but high in bipolar cells (retinal interneurons that are only lost in Cln6-deficient mice at late disease stages), we explored the therapeutic effects of delivering CLN6 to bipolar cells using adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 7m8. Bipolar...
