Reproductive & developmental
Mouse FEED (single IV OAV101B): no fertility effects, no germline transmission; mouse EFD NOAEL 1.1x10^14 vg/kg
“Fertility and early embryonic development (FEED) studies were conducted in healthy male and female FVB mice administered a single intravenous injection of OAV101B. There were no reported adverse effects on fertility, fecundity, or mating behaviors in either sex.”
