Expression of heterologous genes in oncolytic adenoviruses using picornaviral 2A sequences that trigger ribosome skipping
16 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Insertion of picornaviral 2A sequences into mRNAs causes ribosomes to skip formation of a peptide bond at the junction of the 2A and downstream sequences, leading to the production of two proteins from a single open reading frame. Adenoviral protein IX is a minor capsid protein that has been used to display foreign peptides on the surface of the capsid. We have used 2A sequences from the foot-and-mouth disease...
