A patent application (Publication Number: US20240018498A1) discloses a method for delivering a heterologous nucleic acid to kidney, brain, and lung cells using a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV). The method involves a variant AAV capsid protein with a heterologous peptide insertion of 7 to 20 amino acids in the GH-loop, along with a nucleotide sequence encoding a gene product linked to a promoter. The insertion peptide may have spacer amino acids at its terminus, and the variant capsid protein includes specific amino acid substitutions and sequence identities. The insertion site is defined within the capsid protein, and the promoter used can be constitutive or tissue-specific.
Furthermore, the method extends to delivering the nucleic acid to the kidney, brain, spinal cord, or lung of a primate, including humans, by administering the rAAV or a pharmaceutical composition containing it. The process involves similar components as mentioned earlier, with specific details on the insertion peptide, capsid protein characteristics, insertion site, and promoter type. The administration can be done through intravenous injection, targeting specific tissues in the primate. Overall, the patent application outlines a detailed method for efficient delivery of nucleic acids to specific cells and tissues using rAAV technology, with potential applications in gene therapy and related fields.
