Fig. 2

a A schematic showing an implanted AAV-delivery probe in mouse brain. b Transduction characteristics of AAV9 vectors delivered through self-assembled probes. Images (left) are overlays of EYFP/mCherry fluorescence and bright field. Data (right) represent the mean ± SD (n = 4 mice in each group). Scale bar, 1 mm. c Spatially localized EYFP expression around implanted MEFs. The MEFs can be seen in the bright field image. d Neuronal expression of EYFP around MEFs. e Spatially localized mCherry expression of an implanted AAV9-hSyn::ChR2-mCherry-delivery probe at 3 weeks. Scale bars in (c-e), 100 and 50 μm (magnified views). f Spatially confined transgene expression of two closely implanted self-assembled probes in the same mouse brain. One probe was loaded with AAV9-hSyn::eNpHR3.0-EYFP (left), and the other was loaded with AAV9-hSyn::ChR2-mCherry (right). Scale bar, 200 μm.
