    Abstract: The invention provides a method of propagating an adenoviral vector. The method comprises (a) providing a cell comprising a cellular genome comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a tetracycline operon repressor protein (tetR), and (b) contacting the cell with an adenoviral vector comprising a heterologous nucleic acid sequence encoding a toxic protein. The heterologous nucleic acid sequence is operably linked to a promoter and one or more tetracycline operon operator sequences (tetO), and expression of the heterologous nucleic acid sequence is inhibited in the presence of tetR, such that the adenoviral vector is propagated. The invention also provides a system comprising the aforementioned cell and adenoviral vector.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of changing the sensory perception of an animal. The method comprises administering an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an atonal-associated factor, which is expressed to produce the atonal-associated factor resulting in generation of hair cells that allow perception of stimuli in the inner ear. Also provided is a method of generating a hair cell in differentiated sensory epithelia in vivo. The method comprises contacting differentiated sensory epithelial cells with an adenoviral vector (a) deficient in one or more replication-essential gene functions of the E1 region and E4 region, (b) comprising a spacer in the E4 region, and (c) comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an atonal-associated factor. The nucleic acid sequence is expressed to produce the atonal-associated factor such that a hair cell is generated. An adenoviral vector encoding an atonal-associated factor also is provided.

    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for enhancing bone density or formation. In accordance with the method, a nucleic acid encoding a secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) is administered to a cell in a region of a bone such that the nucleic acid is expressed to produce the SEAP, whereby bone density or formation is enhanced within the region. The method can be employed to produce a bone graft having a cell harboring an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a SEAP. To facilitate the inventive method, the invention provides a recombinant viral vector having a nucleic acid encoding a SEAP. Optionally, a nucleic acid encoding an angiogenic protein and/or a nucleic acid encoding an osteogenic protein is employed in conjunction with the nucleic acid encoding a SEAP.
