Host Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Interferon Responses Contribute to AAV-Induced Ocular Toxicity

Apolonia Gardner, Christin M. Hong, Sophia R. Zhao…·Constance L. Cepko

In neonatal mice, AAV-driven GFP overexpression in RPE shows ER stress signatures and partly CHOP-dependent RPE damage, while IFNAR loss partly spares photoreceptors.
