A new viral packaging system for fast, clean and high-throughput production of RVdG-CVS-N2c vectors.

(A–C) A schematic representation of the experimental workflow for achieving cell type-specific trans-synaptic retrograde labeling using G-deleted, envA-pseudotyped rabies viral vectors: Genetic dissection of cre+ neurons (blue) for conditional expression of TVA and G (A); targeting of RVdGenvA particles to labeled neurons for expression of a gene of interest (GOI), (B) and subsequent propagation of native-coat RVdG particles from starter cells to their presynaptic partners (C). (D) A schematic representation of the three different cell lines designed for rescue (HEK-GT), pseudotyping and amplification (BHK-eT) and titration (HEK-TVA) of RVdG viral particles, alongside the transgenes used to generate them. (E) Schematic representation of the production process and timeline. L,P and N represent the plasmids encoding the corresponding rabies genes and V represents the vector plasmid. (F) Quantification of the time course for the rescue stage, starting at day 4 after transfection of viral plasmids. (G) Quantification of the time course for amplification of pseudotyped particles, starting at day 1 after transduction with native-coat particles. (H) Quantification of the average titer of concentrated pseudotyped stock from 19 individual productions, with comparison to the titer of a representative production of RVdg-CVS-N2c virus, produced using N2a cells (magenta). Lines represent titers of individual productions. Data in F and G represents the average and SEM of three individual and independent measurements.

Efficiency of stable cell selection using antibiotic resistance genes.

(A and B) HEK-GT (A) and BHK-eT (B) cells (bright-field illumination shown in cyan) were mixed with HEK293 or BHK-21 cells, respectively, stably expressing tdTomato only (red). Representative images show the gradual removal of tdTomato+ cells following exposure to either of the antibiotics Puromycin, blasticidin, or neomycin used in the generation of the stable cells. Scale bars represent 100 µm. (C) FACS-assisted quantification of the fraction of tdTomato+ cells shows the time course for their removal from the antibiotics-exposed cultures.

Leak expression of envA-pseudotyped particles can occur around damaged tissue.

(A) Illustration of the injection scheme designed to reveal the extent of leak expression following injection of envA-pseudotyped RVcG-CVS-N2c particles produced in BHK-eT cells. (B) Representative confocal image of a coronal section (left) shows extensive labeling of low-titer N2c-tdTomato vectors (magenta) from the hemisphere previously injected AAV-DIO-EF1a-TVA-2A-N2cG but only a small number of cells labeled with N2c-EGFP (green, left) which was injected into the contralateral hemisphere at a titer 500-fold higher. DAPI signal is labeled blue. (C) Protocol for the experiment in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures, designed to assess the contribution of tissue damage to non-specific labeling by envA-pseudotyped particles. (D and E) Images from three separate cultures transduced with envA-pseudotyped CVS-N2c-tdTomato vectors (red), either immediately (D) or 1 hr after the incision of the tissue (E). The substantially higher number of labeled cells in the cultures shown in (D) suggests that non-specific labeling from envA-pseudotyped particles can occur around injection sites when high-titer virus is applied.

Five different clusters of labeled cells are highlighted in (A), likely representing: (1) tdTomato-/nl.EGFP- Non-transduced cells; (2) tdTomato-/nl.EGFP+ Cells with a putative null mutation in the tdTomato gene; (3) tdTomatolow/nl.EGFP- putatively undergoing mitosis and lacking a defined nucleus; (4) tdTomato+/nl.EGFP- with a putative null mutation in the EGFP gene; (5) tdTomato+/nl.EGFP+ with no putative mutations. (C) Quantification of fluorescence intensity for three different RVdG-CVS-N2c vectors, in which tdTomato is expressed alone, or in a bicistronic vector in either the first (tdTomato-FlpO) or second (nl.EGFP-tdTomato) position shows no substantial differences in tdTomato fluorescence intensity. (D) A representative, high-magnification confocal image of the granule cell layer of the DG, following targeting of the RVdGenvA-CVS-N2c-nl.EGFP-tdTomato vector, showing a cell expressing a soluble EGFP, which is likely the result of a mutation in the nuclear localization signal.
