Popis: Background: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are a promising platform for in vivo transfer of transgenes designed to treat diseases. Pre-existing humoral immunity to these vectors can potentially impact the safety and efficacy of gene therapies. Consequently, individuals with pre-existing antibodies to the specific AAV serotypes used may be excluded from clinical trials and treatments. Recombinant AAV serotype rh74 (rAAVrh74), a vector originally isolated from rhesus monkeys and potentially less immunogenic than other serotypes isolated from humans (e.g. AAV2, AAV5, and AAV9), efficiently transduces muscle and is being investigated for use in gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Objective: To evaluate prevalence of total binding antibodies (neutralizing and non-neutralizing) against rAAVrh74 in patients with DMD. Methods: Eligible individuals ( N = 107) were ⩾ 4 to
