Implication

Preclinical comparative study demonstrates superior liver transduction with rAAV-8 over rAAV-2 and rAAV-5 in animal models, indicating key serotype advantages for gene therapy.

Key Points

  • To compare the hepatic transduction efficiency, kinetics, and effect of neutralizing immunity among rAAV vectors pseudotyped with serotype 2, 5, and 8 capsids in mouse and nonhuman primate models.
  • Administered recombinant AAV vectors pseudotyped with capsids from serotypes 2, 5, and 8 into murine models and nonhuman primates.
  • Evaluated transgene expression kinetics, dose responsiveness, conversion of vector genomes to stable duplex DNA, and the inhibitory effect of preexisting serotype-specific antibodies.
  • In murine models, rAAV-2/8 achieved 17- to 84-fold higher transgene expression across all time points and doses compared to rAAV-2 or rAAV-5, driven by rapid conversion of single-stranded genomes to transcriptionally active duplex DNA.
  • In nonhuman primates, liver-directed delivery of rAAV-5 and rAAV-2/8 vectors established therapeutic levels of transgene expression.
  • Preexisting serotype-specific neutralizing antibodies completely prevented successful transduction, an impediment that was circumvented by switching to alternative capsid serotypes.
