ABSTRACT
Myosin VIIA (MYO7A)-associated Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) is a severe disorder that impacts the auditory, vestibular, and visual systems of affected patients. Due to the large size (~7.5 kb) of the MYO7A coding sequence, we have designed a dual adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based approach for the treatment of USH1B-related vision loss. Due to the added complexity of dual-AAV gene therapy, careful attention must be paid to the protein products expressed following vector recombination. In order to improve the sensitivity and quantifiability of our immunoassays, we adapted our traditional western blot protocol for use with the Jess™ Simple Western System. Following several rounds of testing, we optimized our protocol for the detection of MYO7A in two of our most frequently used sample types, mouse eyes, and infected HEK293 cell lysates.
