Table 3. Localization of the GFP signal in the anterior section of eyes injected with similar titers of scAAVs.
Vector | C57BL/6 Mice (Injection Vol 1 μL) | Sprague Dawley Rats (Injection Vol 2 μL) | |
---|---|---|---|
Group 1 | scAAV2 WT~2x1012 | cornea—NPE + chamber angle + iris - | cornea—NPE—chamber angle + iris + |
Group 2 | scAAV2(Y444F) ~9x1011 | cornea + NPE ++ chamber angle ++ iris+ | cornea—NPE ++ chamber angle ++ iris + |
Group 3 | scAAV2(triple) ~3x1012 | cornea ++*NPE ++ chamber angle ++ iris + | cornea ++*NPE ++ chamber angle ++ iris + |
Group 4 | scAAV(septuple) ~2x1012 | cornea—NPE-/+ chamber angle—iris - | cornea—NPE—chamber angle-/+ iris-/+ |
Group 5 | scAAV8(Y733F) ~2x1012 | cornea -**NPE—chamber angle—iris-/+ | cornea -**NPE—chamber angle—iris - |
The transduction efficiency (grading:-,-/+, +, ++) is based on the intensity and distribution of the GFP signal in tissues of the anterior section. Unless otherwise noted (see asterisks) the term cornea represents GFP-expression in the corneal endothelium.
* One out of five showed GFP-positivity in the corneal stroma in addition to the corneal endothelium.
** One out of five showed GFP-positivity in the corneal stroma.
