Protease-Deleted Adenovirus Vectors and Complementing Cell Lines: Potential Applications of Single-Round Replication Mutants for Vaccination and Gene Therapy
10 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
A new kind of versatile adenoviral vector (AdV) has been constructed, one that is completely replication disabled in the absence of Ad-E1 proteins but is capable of a single round of replication when Ad-E1 is present. This was made possible by deletion of the Ad protease gene (PS), which is essential for many steps of the Ad life cycle. The PS-deleted virus can be propagated in 293-derived cell lines engineered...
