  • Patent number: 11590210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and materials useful for systemically delivering polynucleotides across the blood brain barrier using adeno-associated virus as a vector. For example, the present invention relates to methods and materials useful for systemically delivering ?-N-acetylglucosamidinase polynucleotides to the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the somatic system. Use of these methods and materials is indicated, for example, for treatment of the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB. As another example, the present invention relates to methods and materials useful for systemically delivering N-sulphoglucosamine sulfphohydrolase polynucleotides to the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the somatic system. Use of this second type of methods and materials is indicated, for example, for treatment of the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA.

  • Patent number: 8784799
    Abstract: The present invention provides duplexed parvovirus vector genomes that are capable under appropriate conditions of forming a double-stranded molecule by intrastrand base-pairing. Also provided are duplexed parvovirus particles comprising the vector genome. Further disclosed are templates and methods for producing the duplexed vector genomes and duplexed parvovirus particles of the invention. Methods of administering these reagents to a cell or subject are also described. Preferably, the parvovirus capsid is an AAV capsid. It is further preferred that the vector genome comprises AAV terminal repeat sequences.
