  • Patent number: 11939355
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides AAV variants that exhibit a preference for retrograde movement in neurons and methods of using such variants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2024
    Assignee: Howard Hughes Medical Institute
    Inventors: Joshua Dudman, Adam Hantman, Bum-Yeol Hwang, Alla Karpova, Loren Looger, Kimberly Ritola, David Schaffer, Dougal Gowanlock Robinson Tervo, Sarada Viswanathan
  • Publication number: 20230323311
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides infectious recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virions that comprise a variant capsid protein and a heterologous nucleic acid. The present disclosure further provides the variant adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid proteins (and/or a nucleic acid encoding the variant AAV capsid proteins), which confer to an infectious rAAV virion an increased resistance to human AAV neutralizing antibodies. The present disclosure further provides host cells comprising an infectious rAAV virion and/or a nucleic acid encoding a subject variant AAV capsid protein. The present disclosure further provides methods of delivering a heterologous nucleic acid to a target cell where the target cell is contacted with a subject infectious rAAV virion. The present disclosure further provides methods of delivering a gene product to an individual, the methods generally involving administering an effective amount of a subject rAAV virion to an individual in need thereof.
    Type: Application
