AAV-PHP.B provides increased transduction efficiency in the CNS relative to AAV9. Neonatal rats were injected intravenously with the CBA promoter construct packaged into either AAV9 or AAV-PHP.B under equal conditions, with a 4 week expression interval. (A,B) There was stronger GFP expression in the cerebella of rats administered AAV-PHP.B. (C–F) The same pattern was found in the spinal cord (C,D) and the heart (E,F). (G,H) Interestingly, AAV-PHP.B did not appear to similarly increase expression in liver, which is consistent with improved neuronal targeting. (I) GFP-positive area in the cerebellum (t-test, p < 0.001, n = 4–5/per AAV capsid serotype group). GFP immunostaining in (A–H). Bar in (A) = 536 μm, same magnification in (B). Bar in (C) = 67 μm, same magnification in (D). Bar in (E) = 134 μm, same magnification in (F–H). *Indicates p < 0.001.
