Endowing Human Adenovirus Serotype 5 Vectors with Fiber Domains of Species B Greatly Enhances Gene Transfer into Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
1 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) lack the Coxsackie-adenovirus (Ad) receptor and thus are poorly transduced by vectors based on human Ad serotype 5 (Ad5). We investigated whether this problem could be overcome by using tropism-modified Ad5 vectors carrying fiber shaft domains and knobs of different human species B Ads (Ad5FBs). To allow quantitative analyses, these vectors coded for the...
