| Abstract | We previously reported that anti-amyloid-beta (Aβ) single-chain antibody (scFv59) brain delivery via recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) was effective in reducing cerebral Aβ load in an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse model without inducing inflammation. Here, we investigated the prophylactic effects and mechanism of a muscle-directed gene therapy modality in an AD mouse model. We injected rAAV serotype 1 encoding scFv59 into the right thigh muscles of 3-month-old mice. Nine months later, high levels of scFv59 expression were confirmed in the thigh muscles by both immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. As controls, model mice were similarly injected with rAAV1 encoding antihuman immunodeficiency virus Gag antibody (scFvGag). AAV1-mediated scFv59 gene delivery was effective in decreasing Aβ deposits in the brain. Compared with the scFvGag group, levels of Aβ in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) decreased significantly while Aβ in serum tended to increase in the scFv59 group. AAV1-mediated scFv59 gene delivery may alter the equilibrium of Aβ between the blood and brain, resulting in an increased efflux of Aβ from the brain owing to antibody-mediated sequestration/clearance of peripheral Aβ. Our results suggest that muscle-directed scFv59 delivery via rAAV1 may be a prophylactic option for AD and that levels of CSF Aβ may be used to evaluate the efficacy of anti-Aβ immunotherapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
