Description Injection of rAAV2-retro into the superior colliculus offers a potential route for delivery of therapeutic genes to ganglion cells. This approach eliminates the barrier posed by the internal limiting membrane, a major problem following intravitreal virus injection. However, it is unknown for how long the gene product continues to be expressed by ganglion cells.
