abstract：:Usefulness of adenoviral vectors derived from human adenovirus (HAd) type 5 (HAd5) is mainly limited by wide prevalence of preexisting anti-HAd5 immunity as well as non-specific tissue tropism of these vectors. As an alternative, non-human adenoviral vectors including bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAd3) are currently bein...
