Long-term gene expression from autonomously replicating vectors in mammalian cells.

abstract：:Human adenovirus (AV) is a favored vector for delivery of therapeutic genes into certain target cells, such as skeletal muscle cells for gene therapy. Here we show that replication-defective (E1 + E3 deleted) human type 5 adenovirus (AV) recombinants containing a reporter gene insert (RSV-luciferase or RSV-Lux) can ve...
