Chao, Dimitris G. PlacantonakisA. Injection of CD133-LV expressing mCherry into the mouse basal ganglia did not lead to transduction of normal brain tissue, as opposed to VSVG-LV (BG: basal ganglia, Cx: cortex, CC: corpus callosum, LV: lateral ventricle). Bi,ii. hESC-derived neurons were transduced with either CD133-LV or VSVG-LV expressing mCherry. VSVG-LV led to transduction of MAP2A+ neurons, as opposed to CD133-LV. Ci,ii. Primary human astrocytes were transduced with either CD133-LV or VSVG-LV expressing mCherry (MOI = 10). VSVG-LV led to transduction of GFAP+ astrocytes, as opposed to CD133-LV. (NeuN: neural nuclei, MAP2A: microtubule associated protein 2A, GFAP: glial fibrillary acidic protein). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI.
