Abstract
Described herein are compositions and kits comprising recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) with tropisms showing increased specificity and efficiency of viral transduction in targeted cell-types, for e.g., the brain, and lung. The rAAV compositions described herein also have tropisms showing decreased specificity and decreased efficiency of viral transduction in an off-target cell type, for e.g., the liver. The rAAV compositions described herein encapsidate a transgene, such a therapeutic nucleic acid. Upon systemic delivery to a subject, the rAAV is capable of increased specificity and increased transduction of the transgene in a target cell-type, as compared to a parental or reference AAV.
