Abstract excerpt
Replication competent adenoviruses with various E1 modifications designed to restrict their replication to tumor cells are being evaluated as oncolytic agents in clinical trials. In mouse models, we observed that such oncolytic adenoviruses showed greater hepatotoxicity than E1-deleted adenovirus vectors following intravenous administration. Additional studies in congenic BALB/c, nude, and beige/Scid mice...
