Abstract excerpt
The safety of replication-defective viruses used as vectors is based on the deletion of essential gene(s). Adenovirus vector safety relies on the deletion of the E1A/E1B region. This region encodes the immediate-early proteins that trans activate all other early regions, so DNA replication in these deletion mutants is dramatically reduced. We have previously shown that E1A deletion is efficient in vivo and...
