A lung tropic AAV vector improves survival in a mouse model of surfactant B deficiency

lung-tropic512

Surfactant Protein B (SP-B) deficiency is an uncommon, autosomal recessive lung disorder in term infants. This inability to produce SP-B leads to progressive, lethal, hypoxemic respiratory failure in the first year of life. The current standard of care is a lung transplant although rare due to availability of prenatal donor lungs. A compelling argument exists for gene therapy to treat this disease, as de novo protein synthesis of SP-B in alveolar type 2 epithelial cells is required for proper surfactant production.
