AAV-PHP.N Serotype

Neuronal-specific PHP variant designed to reduce peripheral organ uptake while maintaining CNS transduction.

Length: 1 bp

Tropism: CNS (neuron-selective), reduced peripheral organs

Characteristics

Second-generation CREATE for neuronal specificity. Enhanced neuron:glia transduction ratio. Reduced liver, heart, and muscle uptake. Improved CNS selectivity.

Applications

Neuron-specific CNS gene therapy in mice. Reduced peripheral toxicity applications. Selective neuronal circuit manipulation.
