Abstract
Gene therapy targeting the spinal cord is an important tool for analyzing mechanisms of nervous system diseases and the development of gene therapies. Analogous to a lumbar puncture in humans, the rodent spinal cord can be accessed through an efficient, noninvasive injection. Here we describe a method for AAV-mediated gene transfer to cells of the spinal cord by intrathecal injection of small quantities of AAV vector.
