Subretinal injections of AAV2/2-CBA-REP1 into CHM mouse retinas led to a significant increase in a- and b-wave of ERG responses in comparison to sham-injected eyes confirming that AAV2/2-CBA-REP1 is a promising vector suitable for choroideremia gene therapy in human clinical trials.
To establish the proof of concept of AAV7m8 mediated CHM gene therapy, we developed AAV7m8.hCHM, which delivers the human CHM cDNA under control of CMV-enhanced chicken β-actin promoter (CßA).
