Pre-existing Immunity and Passive Immunity to Adenovirus 5 Prevents Toxicity Caused by an Oncolytic Adenovirus Vector in the Syrian Hamster Model
14 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
We have used Syrian hamsters to examine the role of pre-existing immunity to adenovirus (Ad) 5 in the toxicity of the oncolytic Ad vector INGN 007. Groups of hamsters were or were not immunized with Ad5. Half the hamsters were immunosuppressed using cyclophosphamide (CP), then injected intravenously (i.v.) with 3x the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of INGN 007 (in immunocompetent hamsters), and toxicity and vector...
