Figure Lengend Snippet: Establishment of the Optimal AAV Dosing and Delivery Strategy for the Critically Ischemic Limb (A) Graphic abstract of study design and adeno-associated virus (AAV) injection volumes and titers (viral genomes [vg]), created with Biorender.com . FAL = femoral artery ligation. (B) Representative images of tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, and gastrocnemius muscles injected with self-complimentary (sc) AAV9-–cytomegalovirus–green fluorescent protein (GFP) (n = 5-6/group) 35 days after FAL surgery. (C) Quantification of the GFP expression intensity (integral of area and intensity) across ischemic hindlimb muscles (n = 5-6/group). (D) Laser Doppler paw and gastrocnemius muscle perfusion recovery (n = 3-6/group). Error bars represent SD. C : 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test; D : repeated-measures ANOVA. ∗ P < 0.05; ∗∗ P < 0.01; ∗∗∗ P < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗ P < 0.0001.
