Abstract
Crossing the blood-brain barrier in primates is a major obstacle for gene delivery to the brain. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) promise robust, non-invasive gene delivery from the bloodstream to the brain. However, unlike in rodents, few neurotropic AAVs efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier in non-human primates. Here we report on AAV.CAP-Mac, an engineered variant identified by screening in adult marmosets and newborn macaques, which has improved delivery efficiency in the brains of multiple non-human primate species: marmoset, rhesus macaque and green monkey. CAP-Mac is neuron biased in infant Old World primates, exhibits broad tropism in adult rhesus macaques and is vasculature biased in adult marmosets. We demonstrate applications of a single, intravenous dose of CAP-Mac to deliver functional GCaMP for ex vivo calcium imaging across multiple brain areas, or a cocktail of fluorescent reporters for Brainbow-like labelling throughout the macaque brain, circumventing the need for germline manipulations in Old World primates. As such, CAP-Mac is shown to have potential for non-invasive systemic gene transfer in the brains of non-human primates.

Abstract
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) promise robust gene delivery to the brain through non-invasive, intravenous delivery. However, unlike in rodents, few neurotropic AAVs efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier in non-human primates (NHPs). Here we describe AAV.CAP-Mac, an engineered variant identified by screening in adult marmosets and newborn macaques with improved efficiency in the brain of multiple NHP species: marmoset, rhesus macaque, and green monkey. CAP-Mac is neuron-biased in infant Old World primates, exhibits broad tropism in adult rhesus macaques, and is vasculature-biased in adult marmosets. We demonstrate applications of a single, intravenous dose of CAP-Mac to deliver (1) functional GCaMP for ex vivo calcium imaging across multiple brain areas, and (2) a cocktail of fluorescent reporters for Brainbow-like labeling throughout the macaque brain, circumventing the need for germline manipulations in Old World primates. Given its capabilities for systemic gene transfer in NHPs, CAP-Mac promises to help unlock non-invasive access to the brain.
