TABLE I.

Names, abbreviations, and structure of transductionally and transcriptionally targeted adenoviruses used in this study

Targeting
strategy
Virus name Abbreviation Description Reference
Wild type
(nontargeted)
Adenovirus
serotype 5
Ad5-CMV-
luc
Encodes Ad-5 fiber
with cytomegalovirus
(CMV) promoter
driving luciferase (luc)
transgene expression
21
Transductionally
targeted (fiber-
modified
viruses)
Adenovirus-
RGD
Ad5-RGD-
luc
Integrin-binding
peptide (arginine-
glycine-aspartate) is
attached to the
adenovirus fiber HI
loop to expand
tropism to integrin
expressing cells
15
Adenovirus
sigma
Ad-sigma-luc Encode the wild type
Ad5 fibers and the
sigma-1 protein which
is a reovirus
attachment protein
that can infect cells
expressing sialic acid
or junction adhesion
molecule-1 (JAM-1)
22
Adenovirus
5/3
Ad5/3-luc Ad5 fiber knob has
been replaced by that
of Ad3 to redirect
binding to the putative
Ad3 receptors CD80,
CD86, or CD46
23
Transcriptionally
targeted (viruses
with tissue-
specific
promoters)
Adenovirus-
survivin
Ad-survivin-
luc
Transgene expression
is derived by survivin
promoter
24
Adenovirus-
secretory
leukocyte
protease
inhibitor
Ad-SLPI-luc Transgene expression
is derived by SLPI
promoter
18
Adenovirus-
heparanase
Ad-
heparanase
luc
Transgene expression is derived by
heparanase promoter
17

Ad, adenovirus; CMV, cytomegalovirus; luc, luciferase; RGD, integrin-binding peptide; SLPI, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor.
