Abstract
We tested the labelling of trigeminal ganglion afferents in maxillary division (V2) with stereotactic injection of AAV.PHP.S-CAG-tdTomato. The PNS-trophic AAV labelled the sensory ganglion robustly with clear labelling of cell bodies and axons. Expression was localized to V1/V2 region of the ganglion.

Trigeminal ganglion, NeuroNames ID: 1402
Additional Details
Undiluted viral titer (1.1E13 GC/mL) was injected at the following stereotactic coordinates (bregma) based on tungsten electrode recordings of trigeminal ganglion V2: AP 0, ML 0.9, DV 6.3-6.5. The pipette was a pulled glass capillary micropipette (Wiretrol II, Drummond Scientific Company) with bevel of 30 deg and outer diameter of 50-70 um. Pipette was loaded by tip filling and advanced slowly to target. Injection occured at 50 nL/min rate with hydraulic micromanipulator (Narishige, MO-10) and at 2 depths DV 6.3 and 6.5 mm. The pipettte was kept in place for 5-10 minutes prior to retraction.

Native Fluorescence
Assay & Results
Native fluorescence was assayed with lightsheet imaging of cleared whole trigeminal ganglion. tdTomato expression with local stereotactic injection of AAV PHP.S was robust and centered on the maxillary division of trigeminal ganglion with clear labelling of axonal tracts. This result was consistent in N=2 animals tested with no expression in the uninjected contralateral trigeminal ganglion.
