Direct Injection of Recombinant AAV-Containing Solution into the Oviductal Lumen of Pregnant Mice Caused In Situ Infection of Both Preimplantation Embryos and Oviductal Epithelium.

ABSTRACT: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector is an efficient viral-based gene delivery tool used with many types of cells and tissues, including neuronal cells and muscles. AAV serotype 6 (AAV-6), one of numerous AAV serotypes, was recently found to efficiently transduce mouse preimplantation embryos. Furthermore, through coupling with a clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system-a modern genome editing technology-AAV-6 has been shown to effectively create a mutation at a target locus, which relies on isolation of zygotes, in vitro viral infection, and transplantation of the infected embryos to recipient females. Unfortunately, this procedure, termed "ex vivo handling of embryos", requires considerable investment of capital, time, a
