Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is necessary to prevent infection, morbidity, and mortality. In addition the usual post-inoculation hypersensitivity reactions including headaches, muscle joint pain, fever, especially after second shot, mRNA vaccine has risk of inflammation in heart lining some recipients, mostly younger people. And adenovirus vector can induce rare immune thromb...

What is adenovirus? Adenoviruses were first isolated in human adenoids, from which the name is derived. Adenoviruses are medium-sized (90–100 nm), nonenveloped (naked) icosahedral viruses composed of a nucleocapsid and linear, non-segmented double stranded (ds) DNA genome which is about 36kb long. The genes of Adenovirus are divided into two phases, early and late phases. Genes of early phase a...

Lung fibroblastic stromal cells support inflating memory CD8+ T after vaccination with an adenovirus vector through the creation of organized lymphoid structures that metabolic fitness these expanded antigen-specific cells.

The initial recognition and binding of adenovirus vector to the host cell surface is mediated by interaction between the adenovirus fiber knob protein and its receptor, the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR). This natural tropism of adenovirus vector needs to be ablated in order to achieve targeted gene transfer. To this end, we noted that adenovirus serotype 40 (Ad40) contains two di...

BACKGROUND The transduction efficacy of adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) vector in high-grade human bladder cancer cells is generally extremely low due to the non-expression of coxsackie and adenoviral receptor (CAR). We investigated whether fiber-modified adenovirus vector containing an RGD motif in the HI loop of the adenovirus fiber knob could increase the transduction efficiency of Ad5 into huma...

BACKGROUND Adenovirus vectors have lately been highlighted in gene therapies. We investigated the oncolytic effects of a chimeric adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) with replacement of Ad5 fiber knob with adenovirus type 35 (Ad35) fiber knob (Ad5F35) on human renal cell carcinoma (RCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The conditionally replicating Ad5F35 vector was constructed and infected into RCC cell lines 786...

One of the limitations of adenovirus vectors is the lack of machinery necessary for their integration into host chromosomes, resulting in short-term gene expression in dividing cells. We analyzed frequencies of integration and persistence of gene expression from integrated adenovirus vectors. Both E1-substituted and helper-dependent adenovirus vectors achieved similar integration efficiencies o...
