, imaging of hepatocytes exposed to AAV vectors pre-incubated with either NAbs or BAbs revealed that virus is taken up by cells in both cases. Whereas no successful transduction was observed when AAV was pre-incubated with NAbs, an increased capsid internalization and transgene expression was observed in the presence of BAbs. Accordingly, AAV8 vectors administered to mice passively immunized with anti-AAV8 BAbs showed a more efficient liver transduction and a unique vector biodistribution profile compared to mice immunized with NAbs. These results highlight a virtually opposite effect of neutralizing and binding antibodies on AAV vectors transduction.
