ABSTRACT:
Recombinant adenoviruses provide a versatile system for gene expression studies and therapeutic applications. This invention describes a strategy which simplifies the generation and production of such viruses. A recombinant adenoviral plasmid is generated with a minimum of enzymatic manipulations, employing homologous recombination in bacteria rather than in eucaryotic cells. Following transfections of such plasmids into a mammalian packaging cell line, viral production can be conveniently followed with the aid of green fluorescent protein, encoded by a gene incorporated into the viral backbone. Homogeneous viruses can be obtained from this procedure without plaque purification. This system expedites the process of generating and testing recombinant adenoviruses.
