FIG. 5.
High neuronal transduction numbers in targeted regions. (A) Cellular counting of randomized adjacent, histology-processed sections stained against neuronal marker (anti-NeuN) and HA tag epitope (anti-HA). (B) High neuronal transduction levels in the brainstem (82 ± 7.8%, n = 4) and in the thalamus (68 ± 11.3%, n = 7). No significant difference was found between levels of transduction efficiency in these two regions (p > 0.05). Microscopic analysis was performed on NHP tissue perfused 5 weeks after AAV2-hASM-HA infusion. Scale bars: for whole brain mounts, 2 cm; for immunostained sections, 500 μm.
