A holistic rat model to investigate therapeutic interventions in Parkinson’s disease: viral induction of a slow-progressing motor phenotype, dopaminergic degeneration and early mic... by Ekaterini Kefalakes, Franziska J. Mewes, Diana Peristich, Clara Plötner, Volodymyr Shcherbatyy, Julia Schipke, Friederike Schneider, Christopher Käufer, Regina Rumpel

“…In this study, we aimed to establish a viral vector-mediated rat model of Parkinson’s disease that mimics both the histological features of the disease and its slow, age-related progression, including the development of a motor phenotype over time. Evaluation of different adeno-associated viral serotypes overexpressing the human α-synuclein protein revealed that both AAV/6 and AAV/DJ equally transduce primary dopaminergic neurons in vitro with the latter being more efficient. …”
