Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have been used in gene therapy, especially for inherited retinal diseases. Despite their effectiveness in gene transduction, immune responses to the AAV capsid and transgene products have been reported, which can compromise both the efficacy and the safety of AAV-mediated therapies. The eye is regarded as an immune-privileged organ where immune activity is constitutively suppressed. Here, we highlight that immunomonitoring in an ocular gene transfer reveals variable immune responses, whatever the species (human clinical trial, nonhuman primates, mice), the site of injection, the cassette, and the dose. We further explored factors contributing to this variability, investigating the potential correlation among immune parameters in a controlled experimental setting. In a syngeneic murine model after a subretinal injection of AAV, our results highlight an interindividual variability of immune parameters, emphasizing the importance of considering inherent variability among individuals when designing personalized therapies.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
