Fiber Shaft-Chimeric Adenovirus Vectors Lacking the KKTK Motif Efficiently Infect Liver Cells In Vivo
13 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms governing the infectivity of adenovirus (Ad) toward specific cell and tissue types in vivo remain poorly understood. The direct Ad binding to hepatic heparan sulfate proteoglycans via the KKTK motif within the fiber shaft domain was suggested to be the major mechanism of Ad liver cell infection in vivo. Here, we describe the generation and in vitro and in vivo infectivity studies of...
