Abstract:
A method for reconstructing a replication-selective oncolytic adenovirus using a subgroup B recombinant human adenovirus vector Ad11-5EP. The method includes: 1) deleting E1A CR2 gene and/or anti-apoptotic gene E1B 21K that is necessary for viability of an adenovirus in normal cells but not necessary in tumor cells; 2) inserting a tumor-specific promoter to drive the expression of E1A gene; 3) re-directing a cellular tropism of Ad11-5EP according to receptors on a tumor cell surface; or 4) allowing adenovirus to selectively replicate in tumor cells.
Abstract:
A subgroup B recombinant human adenovirus vector Ad11-5EP (SEQ ID NO: 1), which is constructed by a method including: substituting a 365 bp fragment containing an enhancer and a promoter of an upstream coding sequence of Ad5 E1A (SEQ ID NO: 2) for a corresponding region of a serotype Ad11 (SEQ ID NO: 3) of a subgroup B human adenovirus vector by homologous recombination to construct the subgroup B recombinant human adenovirus vector Ad11-5EP (SEQ ID NO: 1).
