The ss-AAV9-U6-miR10150-CBA-GFP virus was kindly donated to us by Dr. Miguel Sena-Esteves and Dr. Ana Rita Batista for use in this study. The vector contains a U6 promoter, which drives the transcription of miR10150 targeting bp10150 in the 3′ untranslated region of the mouse and human HTT gene, and the chimeric cytomegalovirus enhancer/chicken β-actin (CBA) promoter, which drives the expression of GFP (Figure 2). While this study was not designed to assess the efficacy of HTT lowering, the construct containing the micro-RNA, miR10150, was used in this study in order to assess the safety of the full construct.
