CAR-dependent and CAR-independent pathways of adenovirus vector–mediated gene transfer and expression in human fibroblasts
15 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
Primary fibroblasts are not efficiently transduced by subgroup C adenovirus (Ad) vectors because they express low levels of the high-affinity Coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR). In the present study, we have used primary human dermal fibroblasts as a model to explore strategies by which Ad vectors can be designed to enter cells deficient in CAR. Using an Ad vector expressing the human CAR cDNA (AdCAR)...
