additional information | intracerebral injection of a serotype 5 adeno-associated vector, AAV2-5, encoding human ARSA in ARSA-deficient mice corrects the biochemical, neuropathological and behavioral abnormalities. Injection in the right hemisphere and into three selected areas of the centrum semiovale white matter, or in the deep gray matter nuclei, caudate nucleus, putamen, thalamus, of six non-human primates, Macaca fascicularis, to evaluate vector distribution, as well as expression and activity of human ARSA, overview. ARSA enzyme is expressed in multiple interconnected brain areas and ARSA activity is increased by 12-38% in a brain volume that corresponded to 5065% of injected hemisphere | Homo sapiens |
