AAV2/9 Enables Superior Germ Cell Transduction in Mouse Testes
AAV2/9 demonstrated superior efficacy as a gene delivery vector for murine testicular germ cells without observable adverse effects on testicular development or spermatogenesis. This favorable safety profile, combined with high transduction efficiency establishes AAV2/9 as a promising candidate for therapeutic gene transfer to testicular germ cells. Collectively, our study identifies AAV2/9 as a premier vector for germ cell-directed gene therapy, providing crucial preclinical evidence to inform capsid selection for treating male infertility.
