Transduction efficiency of AAV infusion.
Transduction efficiency (%) | Acinar cells | Duct cells | Beta cells | Alpha cells |
---|---|---|---|---|
AAV8-CMV-GFP | 84.5 ± 7.9 | 1.2 ± 0.4 | 71.5 ± 9.2 | 65.9 ± 8.2 |
AAV6-CMV-GFP | 55.1 ± 7.3 | 44.2 ± 6.4 | 23.9 ± 5.5 | 18.6 ± 4.5 |
AAV8-RIP-GFP | <0.1% | <0.1% | 75.6 ± 7.6 | <0.1% |
The infusion was performed on 20–30-g mice, and thus 150 μl of 1012 GCPs/ml AAV was infused at a rate of 6 μl/min. Quantification was performed from five mice in each condition, and was presented as mean ± s.e.m. For duct labeling efficiency and specificity by CFDA-SE, or by AAV6-Sox9p-Cre to R26RRTomato mice, or by AAV6-Sox9p-shVEGFa, please refer to previous publications13,15,16. GCPs, genome copy particles.
