  • Publication number: 20230323398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to viral vectors that are capable of delivering a heterologous gene to the retina and in particular delivering RLBP1 to RPE and Müller cells of the retina. The invention also relates nucleic acids useful for producing viral vectors, compositions comprising the viral vectors and uses of the compositions and viral vectors. The invention also relates to methods of delivering and/or expressing a heterologous gene to the retina, improving the rate of dark adaption in a subject and treating RLBP1-associated retinal dystrophy.

  • Patent number: 10537648
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions for rendering a vitreous cavity visible during a surgical procedure to alleviate a structural disorder caused by the vitreous in an eye, and methods of using the compositions. The compositions are vitreous delineating agents that comprise a hyaluronan binding peptide linked to an optically detectable moiety. Such compositions can be in a formulation that may be a solution, a suspension, or an emulsion, and would be injected into the vitreous shortly prior to use. The composition may additionally contain a therapeutic agent, a diagnostic agent, or a chemosensing material, in use, the composition marks or delineates the vitreous by binding preferentially to the hyaluronan that permeates the vitreous humor and binding little or not at all to surrounding tissues such as the retina.
