A Helper-Independent Adenovirus Vector with E1, E3, and Fiber Deleted: Structure and Infectivity of Fiberless Particles
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
The adenovirus (Ad) fiber protein largely determines viral tropism through interaction with specific cell surface receptors. This molecule may also be involved in virion assembly or maturation, as some previously characterized fiber mutants were defective for processing of viral structural proteins. We previously described packaging cell lines that express Ad type 5 (Ad5) fiber and can complement the...
