Development and Characterization of Novel Empty Adenovirus Capsids and Their Impact on Cellular Gene Expression

Abstract excerpt

Adenovirus (Ad) has been extensively studied as a eukaryotic viral vector. As these vectors have evolved from first-generation vectors to vectors that contain either very few or no viral genes ("gutless" Ad), significant reductions in the host innate immune response upon infection have been observed. Regardless of these vector improvements an unknown amount of toxicity has been associated with the virion...
