Longitudinal In Vivo Monitoring of the CNS Demonstrates the Efficacy of Gene Therapy in a Sheep Model of CLN5 Batten Disease
18 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs; Batten disease) are neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases predominantly affecting children. Single administration of brain-directed lentiviral or recombinant single-stranded adeno-associated virus 9 (ssAAV9) vectors expressing ovine CLN5 into six pre-clinically affected sheep with a naturally occurring CLN5 NCL resulted in long-term disease attenuation.
