Influence of E1-Deleted Recombinant Adenoviruses on B7.1 and IL-2 Expression in C1498 Cells

Knowing that adenoviral vectors could initiate innate immunity, the ability of E1-deleted recombinant adenovirus (Ad-E1Δ) in induction of B7.1 and IL-2 molecules was studied. Methods: The expression of green fluorescent protein in C1498 cells following transfection of these cells with adenovirus green fluorescent protein vector confirmed the ability of adenovirus vectors in infecting the cells ...

Expression of Biologically Active Recombinant B-Domain-Deleted Human Factor VIII in Mammalian Cells

Designing E1 Deleted Adenoviral Vector by Homologous Recombination

Adenoviruses are used extensively to deliver genes into mammalian cells, particularly where there is a requirement for high-level expression of transgene products in cultured cells, or for use as recombinant viral vaccines or in gene therapy. In spite of their usefulness, the construction of adenoviral vectors (AdV) is a cumbersome and lengthy process that is not readily amenable to the generat...

A simple method for constructing E1- and E1/E4-deleted recombinant adenoviral vectors.

We previously developed a two-plasmid in vitro ligation method that did not require a recombination step to produce new recombinant E1- or E1/E3-deleted adenoviral vectors. In this study, we have modified the system to improve the simplicity of vector construction and, in addition, to allow for production of an E1/E4-deleted vector.

Decreased replication ability of E1-deleted adenoviruses correlates with increased brain tumor malignancy.

E1 region replacement adenoviruses are replication defective and are propagated in cells providing adenovirus E1A and E1B proteins. Although they are being developed for antitumor therapies, the proliferative behaviors of these viruses in normal brain tissues or in brain tumors are unknown. To address this, freshly cultured cells from normal human brain and common brain tumors (astrocytomas and...
