ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS VECTORS FOR THE DELIVERY OF THERAPEUTICS

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods for selectively delivering therapeutics to the eye using AAV vectors. For example, the cornea can be specifically targeted using the methods described. Also provided herein are compositions comprising AAV vectors packaged with CRISPR complexes, which can be delivered directly to the eye, for example the cornea, and in particular the cornea endothelium. Diseases and conditions comprising abnormalities or deterioration of tissues in the eye, such as the cornea endothelium (e.g. FECD), can be treated using the methods and compositions described herein.
