Table 1. Properties of the used OAd constructs.
Virus name | Abbreviation | Properties | Reference |
---|---|---|---|
Ad5/3 | - | - | present work |
Ad5/3-Luc | Luc | Luciferase gene fused via IRES to the fiber gene. | [23] |
Ad5/3-Δ19K-.Luc | Luc/19K- | Luciferase gene fused via IRES to the fiber gene, deletion of E1B19K. | [23] |
Ad5/3-TRAIL | TRAIL | Human TRAIL gene fused via IRES to the fiber gene. | [23] |
All viruses have a 24 amino acid deletion in E1A for tumor-selectivity, an E3-deletion, an Ad5/3 chimeric fiber for enhanced cell entry and a GFP gene upstream of RITR, expressed from the major late promoter.
