ADENOVIRAL VECTORS FOR PROTEIN EXPRESSION 2007-09-02 .txt text/plain 12536 580 43 Many features of this viral system, including the ability to infect a wide variety of nondividing cells, a large capacity for insertion of DNA, ease of production and stability of the viral particles, and the high viral titers that can be produced, make Ad-based vectors especially useful in gene transfer. Recombinant adenoviruses have been used to express foreign proteins for a number of years, and the recent explosion of interest in gene therapy has led to the development both of improved adenoviral vectors and of more efficient techniques for generating them. Once constructed, a single vector can be used for in vitro protein expression and purification, studies of the effect of the gene product on cell biology, or in vivo studies in many tissue types and a number of different species. Viral vectors deleted for the corresponding sequences will have a higher capacity for insertion of DNA and should be useful for expressing large proteins such as dystrophin or combinations of genes (perhaps multisubunit enzyme complexes). ./cache/cord-021532-6hmn90ac.txt ./txt/cord-021532-6hmn90ac.txt
