Abstract

Growing interest in adenoviral gene-transfer vectors, stimulated by efforts to develop in vivo gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, has led to an evaluation of their use in many other applications of in vivo gene therapy. Studies are beginning to define strategies for the efficient, albeit transient, expression of the transferred gene and have further identified and partially characterized important host responses to in vivo gene transfer that modulate the duration of expression of the transgene. Ongoing work is actively exploring these issues, with a view to the design of the next generation of adenoviral vectors.

    The Ad vectors with deleted E1, with or without E3 deletion, are designated as first generation vectors. Deletion of E1 led to replication deficient viral vectors that were propagated in helper cell lines (Trapnell and Gorziglia, 1994). The first generation Ad vectors carried ∼8 kb foreign genes.

    For many of these diseases, transduction of terminally differentiated neurons is necessary. Poor transduction efficiencies, waning transgene expression, immune responses directed against transduced cells, and inability to retreat following an initial administration have often limited CNS-directed gene delivery [1–6]. Postmitotic neurons cannot be transduced by oncoretroviral vectors, which require that the nuclear membrane be absent to insert a transgene into the host cell genome [7].
