Abstract
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is a promising vector for applications in the central nervous system (CNS). Clinical phase I/II studies have demonstrated safety of rAAV-expressing therapeutic transgenes for a variety of benign (i.e., noncancer) CNS disorders, namely, Canavan disease,1 Parkinson’s disease,2,3,4 and Batten disease.5 Human studies were also recently reported targeting the retina.6,8,9,9 From the early stages of preclinical development, rAAV was appealing because it was found to be neurotrophic and capable of long-term activity without immune interference or toxicity when injected into the CNS.10
