Organotypic cultures of rat hypothalamic slice cultures were successfully transduced using adenoassociated viral vectors. Using nuclear-targeted Lac-Z as the reporter gene, transduction was found to be very effective, occurring in as high as 89% of a specific cell type, the oxytocin neurons, present in the cultured explants. These transduction levels were not accompanied by any deleterious effects in the cultured cells 7 days after transduction. Such an in vitro approach should be valuable for the study of cell-specific gene expression in neurons in the central nervous system for which there are no homologous (surrogate) cell lines, (C) 1999 Academic Press.
