Cross-species tropism of AAV.CPP.16 in the respiratory tract and its gene therapies against pulmonary fibrosis and viral infection

Abstract excerpt

Efficient gene delivery vectors are crucial for respiratory and lung disease therapies. We report that AAV.CPP.16, an engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) variant derived from AAV9, efficiently transduces airway and lung cells in mice and non-human primates via intranasal administration. AAV.CPP.16 outperforms AAV6 and AAV9, two wild-type AAVs with demonstrated tropism for respiratory tissues, and efficiently...
