Ablating Adenovirus Type 5 Fiber–CAR Binding and HI Loop Insertion of the SIGYPLP Peptide Generate an Endothelial Cell-Selective Adenovirus
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus type 5 (Ad) based vectors transduce vascular endothelial cells (EC) and have been widely used for vascular gene transfer. However, many cell types express the Ad receptor (cox-sackievirus adenovirus receptor; CAR), preventing selective EC infection and precluding clinical use. We previously isolated the human EC-binding peptides SIGYPLP and LSNFHSS by phage display and demonstrated by means of a...
