摘要:
The present invention provides a library of viral vectors, wherein each member comprises a first heterologous DNA encoding a first gene product and a second heterologous DNA encoding a second gene product. The first heterologous DNA is common to each member of the library, while the second heterologous DNA varies between members of the library. The present invention additionally provides a method of constructing a library of viral vectors. The method comprises carrying out homologous recombination between a first DNA molecule and a second DNA molecule to form a pool of intermediate viral vector genomes. One or more linear third DNA molecules are ligated into the pool of intermediate viral genomes to produce a library of viral vector genomes. Alternatively, homologous recombination between linear DNA molecules and recipient DNA molecules produces a library of viral vector genomes. The library of viral vector genomes is converted into a library of viral vectors.

A recombinant adenovirus comprising a chimeric penton base protein, which includes a nonpenton base sequence, and a therapeutic gene, a method of gene therapy involving the use of such adenovirus, and adenoviral transfer vectors for the generation of such recombinant adenovirus are provided.
摘要:
The invention provides a method of identifying an antigen from a pathogen or a disease antigen comprising the use of an adenoviral vector array comprising two or more different adenoviral vectors, wherein each adenoviral vector comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a different antigen of a pathogen. The adenoviral vectors are administered to antigen presenting cells (APCs) in vitro or to an animal in vivo. The immunogenicity of the antigen is measured by screening for an immune response from effector T lymphocytes in vitro and by screening for the absence of pathogen-induced disease onset in vivo.
