In vivo genetic manipulation of inner ear connexin expression by bovine adeno-associated viral vectors
Abstract We have previously shown that in vitro transduction with bovine adeno–associated viral (BAAV) vectors restores connexin expression and rescues gap junction coupling in cochlear organotypic cultures from connexin–deficient mice that are models DFNB1 nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness.
