Abstract excerpt
The primary receptor, the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), and the secondary receptor, alphav integrins, are the tropism determinants of adenovirus (Ad) type 5. Inhibition of the interaction of both the fiber with CAR and the penton base with the alphav integrin appears to be crucial to the development of targeted Ad vectors, which specifically transduce a given cell population. In this study, we...
