Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model Mild SMA model (F0): Smn−/−; SMN2+/+ with 4 SMN2 copies (JAX 005058); type III-like
Administration Route subcutaneous (postnatal day 5)
Output Type CNS delivery / nuclear localization; in vivo splice correction
Output Value Nuclear localization in brain/spinal cord; increased FL-SMN2 in CNS & peripheral tissues
Output Units
Output Notes SC DG9-PMO injected at PD0 or PD5; assessed at PD7/PD13; ELISA shows higher CNS uptake vs unconjugated PMO; RT-qPCR shows increased FL-SMN2.
Toxicity Notes No apparent toxicity reported up to 80 mg/kg (serum markers, liver/kidney histology, urinary KIM-1); no increase in CD68+ macrophages vs NT.
