  • Publication number: 20230056182
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions that include at least two different nucleic acid vectors that, when introduced into a primate cell, the at least two different vectors undergo con catamerization or homologous recombination with each other, thereby forming a recombined nucleic acid that encodes a full-length target protein (e.g., a supporting cell target protein or a hair cell target protein). Also provided are compositions that include a single AAV vector that, when introduced into a primate cell, a nucleic acid encoding a full-length target protein (e.g., a supporting cell target protein or a hair cell target protein) is generated at the locus of the supporting cell target gene, and the primate expresses the target protein (e.g., a supporting cell target protein or a hair cell target protein).
