Abstract excerpt
A critical issue for E1-deleted adenoviral vectors manufactured from 293 cells is the emergence of replication-competent adenovirus (RCA). These contaminants arise through homologous recombination between identical sequences framing the E1 locus displayed by 293 cells, and the vector backbones. Modified recombinogenic sequences (syngen) were thus introduced within the vector backbone, and virus viability and RCA...
