Chimpanzee adenoviral vectors in cancer research.
Adenovirus | Vector | Features | Anti-tumor effects |
---|---|---|---|
AdC7 | AdC7-SP/E1A-ΔE3 | Replication-selective; Induces cell death through apoptosis via the pro-apoptotic protein BAD mediated mitochondrial pathway | Showed significant anti-tumor effects in some certain cancer cells as well as in tumor-bearing mice |
AdC68 | AdC68-CTB | Replication-defective; Expresses cetuximab that is an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody against cancer | Effectively suppressed tumor growth in NCI-H508 or DiFi- inoculated nude mice |
