Creating an arsenal of Adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery stealth vehicles.

abstract：:The nervous and immune systems influence each other, allowing animals to rapidly protect themselves from changes in their internal and external environment. However, the complex nature of these systems in mammals makes it difficult to determine how neuronal signaling influences the immune response. Here we show that s...
