Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating lysosomal storage diseases in a subject. In one aspect of the invention, a transgene product is delivered to a subject by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the brain. The viral vector delivers the transgene to a region of the brain which is susceptible to infection by the virus and which expresses the encoded recombinant viral gene product. Also provided are compositions for delivery of a transgene product to a subject by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the subject's brain. The transgene product may be any that is deficient in a lysosomal storage disease.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method to treat Niemann Pick A disease or Niemann Pick B disease in affected visceral organs in a subject, comprising directly injecting a therapeutically effective amount of a recombinant AAV4 or AAV5 viral vector comprising a therapeutic transgene encoding acid sphingomyelinase into at least one ventricle of the brain; wherein a therapeutic amount of the acid sphingomyelinase is expressed in the central nervous system and transported to affected visceral organs. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the viral vector is administered by direct injection into a lateral ventricle of the brain. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the viral vector is administered by direct injection into the fourth ventricle of the brain.
