Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of delivering viral vectors, particularly recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virions, to the central nervous system (CNS) using convection enhanced delivery (CED) are provided. The rAAV virions include a nucleic acid sequence encoding a therapeutic polypeptide. The methods can be used for treating CNS disorders such as for treating Parkinson's Disease.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for delivering recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virions to the brain of a subject, comprising administering via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) said rAAV virions into the central nervous system (CNS) of the subject, wherein said rAAV virions comprise a nucleic acid sequence encoding a therapeutic polypeptide, and at least 1×10 9 rAAV virions are administered and distribution of said rAAV virions over an area greater than 5 mm 2 is achieved. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering is done with an osmotic pump. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering is done with an infusion pump. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid sequence encodes an aromatic-amino-acid decarboxylase (AADC). 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the subject is a human. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rAAV virions are administered into the striatum. 7. A method for delivering recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virions to the brain of a subject having a central nervous system (CNS) disorder, comprising administering via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) said virions into the CNS of the subject, wherein said virions comprise a nucleic acid sequence encoding a therapeutic polypeptide, and at least 1×10 9 rAAV virions are administered and distribution of said rAAV virions over an area greater than 5 mm 2 is achieved. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the CNS disorder is Parkinson's disease, the rAAV virions are administered into the striatum and wherein the nucleic acid sequence encodes AADC.
