    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of identifying a gene product. The method comprises providing a multiplicity of cells comprising a first gene product. Preferably, the first gene product is produced in the multiplicity of cells by expressing a first exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding the first gene product. A library of second nucleic acid sequences encoding second gene products is then introduced into the multiplicity of cells. The second nucleic acid sequences are expressed in the multiplicity of cells to produce the second gene products such that the first gene product and at least one of the second gene products contact. The method further comprises causing a complex to form between the first gene product, an affinity molecule that binds the first gene product, and at least one of the second gene products, and subsequently retrieving the complex. At least one second gene product of the complex then is identified.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of detecting and/or characterizing the viral vector particle content of a medium. A medium is provided and contacted with an excitation energy such that, if a viral vector particle is in the medium, an electron associated with the intrinsically fluorogenic portion of the viral vector particle will be raised to an excited energy state. The excited electron is permitted to emit radiation having an emission wavelength which is detected. The viral vector particle content of the medium then can be evaluated by comparing the detected emission wavelength with a standard signal. For example, the number of viral vector particles in a medium can be quantified by comparing the detected wavelength and its corresponding intensity to a standard signal. Similar methods for evaluating the adenoviral vector particle content of a medium and the intrinsically fluorogenic adenoviral structural protein content of a medium are provided.

    Abstract: Provided are methods of modulating the persistence of the expression in a cell of a transgene, such as a transgene in a non-Herpes vector or in at least E4null adenoviral vector, and related systems. One method comprises contacting the cell with a non-Herpes vector comprising and expressing a gene encoding HSV ICP0, whereupon expression of HSV ICP0 the persistence of expression of the transgene is modulated. Further provided is a system for modulating the persistence of expression of a transgene, which system comprises a non-Herpes vector comprising (i) a gene encoding HSV ICP0 and (ii) a transgene, wherein the HSV ICP0 modulates the persistence of expression of the transgene and either the non-Herpes vector comprises the transgene or the system further comprises a vector, in which case the vector comprises the transgene. Another method comprises contacting the cell with an at least E4null adenoviral vector comprising (i) a transgene and (ii) a gene encoding a trans-acting factor, wherein the trans-acting factor modulates the persistence of expression of the transgene and the gene encoding the trans-acting factor is not from the E4 region of an adenovirus. Yet another method comprises contacting a cell simultaneously or sequentially with (i) an at least E4null adenoviral vector comprising a transgene and (ii) a viral vector comprising a gene encoding a trans-acting factor, which is not from the E4 region of an adenovirus and which modulates the persistence of expression of the transgene. Also provided is a system for modulating the persistence of expression of a transgene in an at least E4null adenoviral vector, which system comprises (i) an at least E4null adenoviral vector comprising a transgene and (ii) a gene encoding a trans-acting factor, wherein the gene encoding the trans-acting factor is not from the E4 region of an adenovirus, the trans-acting factor modulates the persistence of expression of the transgene, and either the at least E4null adenoviral vector comprises the gene encoding the trans-acting factor or the system comprises a viral vector, in which case the viral vector comprises the gene encoding the trans-acting factor.
