abstract：:Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) is a commonly used vector for gene therapy, but its efficacy is limited by high seroprevalence and off-target hepatic and splenic sequestration. In order to circumvent these limitations, the use of vectors derived from rare species adenoviruses is appealing. The opportunity to retarget rare spe...
