Luciferase expression in C57BL/6 mice after tail-vein injection Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) expression levels were detected at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after vector injection. The Y703F vector elicited sustained and significant enhancement of Gluc from day 7, with levels that were approximately 3-fold higher than those in the wtAAV8. Others showed minimal or no significant difference during the experiment (A). For the in vivo bioluminescence analysis, images were taken from the ventral aspect at 6 weeks after vector infusions. The three mutants displayed mainly liver tropism, similar to the wild-type AAV8 (B). Statistical analysis revealed that the Y703F mutant lead to a significant enhancement in liver luminescence levels, 1.8-fold higher than obtained with the wild-type AAV8 (C). The data are shown as mean values± SD, *p<0.05 compared with wild-type AAV8 groups.
