There are innumerable different viruses, but the
human adenovirus 5, which normally causes the symptoms of a typical cold, has substantial advantages: Its genome can be replaced completely
by an artificial one which contains only «useful» genes.
To assess cross-neutralization of TMAdV
by known
human adenoviruses, 7 pools of in - house reference sera at the VRDL (rabbit hyperimmune sera) and collectively containing antibodies to
human adenovirus serotypes 1 through 35 were available for testing.
The significant overall sequence divergence of TMAdV from known
human and simian
adenoviruses is highlighted
by the finding that PAdV - A (porcine
adenovirus A), a non - primate mammalian
adenovirus, shared only a slightly less similar whole - genome pairwise identity to TMAdV of 47.0 % (Fig. 4).
Clinical samples were also sent to an outside laboratory (Focus Diagnostics, Cypress, CA) for respiratory viral testing
by centrifugation - enhanced shell vial culture followed
by direct fluorescent antibody staining for 8 viruses (respiratory syncytial virus,
adenovirus, influenza virus A and B, parainfluenza virus types 1, 2, and 3, and
human metapneumovirus).
Humans are infected
by common serotypes of
human adenovirus such as AdHu5 and a significant percentage has neutralizing antibodies to this serotypes, which impair the efficacy of AdHu5 based vaccines.
To do this, a team led
by Matthew Weitzman of the University of Pennsylvania crosslinked the host factors of infected
human cells with the DNA of
adenovirus, herpes simplex virus and vaccinia virus.
Increased permissivity of monkey cells to
human adenovirus multiplication is affected
by culturing conditions and correlates with both synthesis of virion fiber protein and altered splicing of its mRNA
Both transient transfection with Lipofectamine and transduction with
adenovirus resulted in a subpopulation of cells that experessed
human IgG, as shown
by the increased fluorescence intensity.
Improving the oncolytic potency of agents has been hampered
by the inability to study host - vector interactions in immune - competent systems, since
human serotype
adenoviruses do not productively replicate in animal tissues.
