“Antigenicity endpoints were included in single dose toxicity studies, capsid antigens generally caused high titres of anti AAV5 antibodies. In addition, anti-human FIX antibodies were observed inconsistently in NHP.”
Liver highest, then adrenal, spinal cord; vector in testis/epididymis/semen at 26 wks; saliva/urine clear by ~week 8-12
“Vector DNA was also identified in the adrenal glands and spinal cord, followed by limited vector presence in various tissue types.”

Modality-specific risk
AAV integration/insertional oncogenesis (dose-dependent), germline transmission, thrombosis from high FIX activity, DRG toxicity
“Dose is considered a pivotal factor with regards to the frequency of integration and with that a main contributor to the risk of insertional oncogenesis.”
