Abstract

Recent endeavors in the development of adenovirus as a gene vector have focused on the modification of virus tropism, the accomodation of larger genes, and the increase in stability and control of transgene expression. Whereas partial or total deletions of viral genes increase the cloning capacity and partly reduce the cellular immune response, control of the humoral response, which often precludes efficient readministration, remains a challenge.
