Immune responses to adenoviruses: viral evasion mechanisms and their implications for the clinic

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0952-7915(99)80064-8Get rights and content

Adenoviruses encode proteins that block responses to interferons, intrinsic cellular apoptosis, killing by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and killing by the death ligands TNF, Fas ligand and TRAIL. The viral proteins are believed to prolong acute and persistent adenovirus infections. The proteins may prove useful in protecting adenovirus gene therapy vectors and transplanted cells from the immune system.

      However, this process has a low efficiency, has wild-type (WT) contamination, and is time and labor intensive. Moreover, recombination takes place in a specialized E. coli strain, BJ5183, containing a Rec-A deficiency.17,18 Even though higher yields of homologous recombination are achieved, there is also a higher chance of secondary recombination events giving rise to unwanted repeat regions or secondary structures to the adenoviral genome.
