AAV-PHP.B3 Serotype

Third variant from PHP.B CREATE selection, part of the initial BBB-penetrating AAV toolkit. Mouse-specific due to LY6A receptor.

Length: 1 bp

Tropism: CNS (widespread), peripheral nervous system (mouse-specific)

Characteristics

Third independent isolate from CREATE selection. LY6A-dependent BBB transcytosis. Robust CNS transduction in permissive mouse strains. Species and strain-specific limitations.

Applications: Mouse CNS gene therapy research. Neuroscience tool development. Comparative studies with other PHP variants.
