The present invention relates to a substantially homogenous population of a rational polyploid adeno-associated virus (AAV) virons that cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), where the rational polyploid comprises a VP3 viral structural protein from any AAV serotype that cross the BBB. In some embodiments, the rational polyploid crosses the BBB upon systemic or intrathecal administration to a subject. In some embodiments, a rational polyploid AAV virion comprises at least one VP1 and/or VP2 viral structural protein in addition to the VP3 protein. In some embodiments, the VP3 capsid protein is from a non-human primate, and in some embodiments the VP3 capsid protein is a AAV rhesus monkey serotype. In specific embodiments, rational polyploid AAV virion comprises a VP1 capsid protein from AAV8, and at least a VP3 capsid protein from any AAV serotype that cross the BBB.
A population of rational polyploid AAV virions suitable for use in crossing the blood brain barrier, the rational polyploid AAV virions comprising at least one of AAV VP1 or VP2 viral structural proteins and an AAV VP3 viral structural protein;
A population of rational polyploid AAV virions that allows repeat dosing, the population comprising:
A population of rational polyploid AAV virions, the population comprising:
The population of any of the preceding claims, wherein the VP3 protein is a mutated VP3 protein from AAVrh10 or AAVrh74 serotype.
A nucleic acid comprising, in a 5′ to 3′ direction:
A nucleic acid comprising, in a 5′ to 3′ direction:
A viral vector comprising:
The population of any of the preceding claims comprising a chimeric or modified viral structural protein, wherein the modified viral structural protein comprises insertion, deletion or, substitution of one or more amino acids.
A population of rational polyploid AAV virions that allow repeat dosing, the population comprising:
