AAVrh-10 transduces outer retinal cells in rodents and rabbits following intravitreal administration

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has been widely used for gene delivery in animal models and successfully applied in clinical trials for treating inherited retinal disease. Although subretinal delivery of AAVs can effectively transduce photoreceptors and/or retinal pigmental epithelium (RPE), cells most affected by inherited retinal diseases, the procedure is invasive and complicated, and only delivers the gene to a limited retinal...
