Abstract: The present invention relates to Adeno-associated virus 9 methods and materials useful for systemically delivering polynucleotides across the blood brain barrier. Accordingly, the present invention also relates to methods and materials useful for systemically delivering polynucleotides to the central and peripheral nervous systems. The present invention also relates to Adeno-associated virus type 9 methods and materials useful for intrathecal delivery of polynucleotides. Use of the methods and materials is indicated, for example, for treatment of lower motor neuron diseases such as spinal muscle atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as well as Pompe disease and lysosomal storage disorders. Use of the methods and materials is also indicated, for example, for treatment of Rett syndrome.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) delivery of a ceroid lipofuscinosis neuronal 3 (CLN3) polynucleotide. The disclosure provides rAAV and methods of using the rAAV for CLN3 gene therapy of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis or CLN3-Batten Disease.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment of Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL), also known as Juvenile Batten Disease, are provided herein. In certain embodiments the compositions include but are not limited to adeno-associated viral (AAV) constructs, including self-complementary adeno-associated viral (sc-AAV) constructs, that express the human gene CLN3 (or a CLN3 cDNA).

Abstract: The invention relates to an in vitro quantative cell-based assay that uses a primary mouse cell model system permissive to viral vector infection and a quantitative high content image-based system for determining potency of a transgene-expressing viral vector drug product for lot disposition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to RNA-based methods for inhibiting the expression of the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD-1) gene. Recombinant adeno-associated viruses of the invention deliver DNAs encoding RNAs that knock down the expression of SOD-1. The methods have application in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
