$9,999.00 – $49,999.00Price range: $9,999.00 through $49,999.00
AAV Capsid Barcode Kit-BBB is designed to systematically evaluate different AAV serotypes or variants of their activity to cross blood-brain-barrier (BBB). Gene therapy targeting CNS diseases faces significant challenges primarily due to the BBB, which restricts the entry of therapeutic delivery vehicles. AAV9 has become a focal point in CNS gene therapy due to its ability to cross the BBB in mouse models. AAV9 serves as a foundational template for developing new AAV vectors with enhanced BBB penetration capabilities, such as AAV-Php.eB. However, AAV capsids that were modified for BBB crossing in mice have shown limited success in non-human primates (NHPs). Moreover, the species of mouse and NHP also affect the crossing-BBB activity of AAVs. This library includes a combination of 15 common AAV capsids and 9 reported crossing BBB AAV capsids, providing researchers with a comprehensive set of tools for targeted gene delivery to the brain. Researchers can conduct comparative studies to assess the transduction efficiency, specificity, and safety profiles of different AAV capsids targeting to CNS tissues using AAV Capsid Barcode Kit-BBB.

Design of AAV Capsid Barcode Kits
AAV Capsid Barcode Kits are known AAV capsid selection kits build on our ATHENA I platform. In the ATHENA I, each capsid variant is associated with three different DNA-barcoded genomes, and all three of these genomes carry the same reporter gene. The use of three DNA barcodes for one capsid variant can minimize experimental variations and improve the accuracy of the results in high-throughput screening or selection processes.
In the AAV Capsid Barcode Kits, AAV genomes carried different promoters and different reporter genes, such as AAV-CAG-EGFP, AAV-CMV-mCherry, and scAAV-CMV-mCherry. The presence of the reporter gene allows for the enrichment of transgene-expressing cells, making it possible to identify and isolate cells that have taken up and expressed the AAV genomes.
The unique barcodes are located before Poly signal. NGS technology is used to analyze the barcode data after AAV infection or injection. Researchers can use the unique DNA barcodes to evaluate the distribution of each capsid variant for different types of target cells. This screening method helps identify which AAV capsids are most effective at transducing specific cell types. In addition to DNA barcode screening, transcribed RNA barcodes can be evaluated to assess the potential of different capsids for each target cell. This approach provides insights into the transcriptional activity of the AAV genomes in the context of specific cell types.
Common AAV Capsid List: AAV1, AAV2, AAV3B, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAVrh.10, AAV11, AAV12, AAV13, AAVrh.74, AAV-DJ, AAV2-Retro
