A large panel of delivery route are validated for gene transfer in adult mouse. Other routes, delivery in young mice or in rats can be developed upon request. Biodistribution and efficiency analyses and downstream phenotyping tests can be performed on transfected animals

Genesis (New York, N.Y.: 2000) 45(9): 593–605.). Legend: green: recombined cells; red: non recombined cells
Stereotactic delivery are widely used for brain manipulation regarding neurodegenerative disorders. With the development of gene therapy, the injection of viral vectors into specific brain structures is admitted to be a valuable technique in the study of treatments for neurodegenerative brain diseases (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's...).

With automated stereotactic instruments and a microbiological safety station, we have been performing intracerebral injections of AAV followed by behavioral studies in the mouse models. Finally, we recently succesfully conducted a preliminary toxicity study on rats to confirm those obtained in mice.
