Efficient viral vectors for mapping and manipulating long-projection neuronal circuits are crucial in structural and functional studies of the brain. The SAD strain rabies virus with the glycoprotein gene deleted pseudotyped with the N2C glycoprotein (SAD-RV(ΔG)-N2C(G)) shows strong neuro-tropism in cell culture, but its in vivo efficiency for retrograde gene transduction and neuro-tropism have not been systematically characterized. We compared these features in different mouse brain regions for SAD-RV-N2C(G) and two other widely-used retrograde tracers, SAD-RV(ΔG)-B19(G) and rAAV2-retro. We found that SAD-RV(ΔG)-N2C(G) enhanced the infection efficiency of long-projecting neurons by ~10 times but with very similar neuro-tropism, compared with SAD-RV(ΔG)-B19(G). On the other hand, SAD-RV(ΔG)-N2C(G) had an infection efficiency comparable with rAAV2-retro, but a more restricted diffusion range, and broader tropism to different types and regions of long-projecting neuronal populations. These results demonstrate that SAD-RV(ΔG)-N2C(G) can serve as an effective retrograde vector for studying neuronal circuits.

D009415 Nerve Net A meshlike structure composed of interconnecting nerve cells that are separated at the synaptic junction or joined to one another by cytoplasmic processes. In invertebrates, for example, the nerve net allows nerve impulses to spread over a wide area of the net because synapses can pass information in any direction.
