AAV2/5-OPTIRPE65 mediates physiological expression levels of RPE65 mRNA in the mouse retina. Whole retina lysates from WT mice 6 weeks following injection with AAV2/5-OPTIRPE65 or AAV2/2-hRPE65 were used for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Absolute quantification of total mRNA-derived cDNA was performed for human RPE65 transcripts, OptiRPE65 transcripts and endogenous murine Rpe65 transcripts (mean±s.d.). Dose: 4 × 109 vg per eye, n=4.
