An adenoviral vector deleted for all viral coding sequences results in enhanced safety and extended expression of a leptin transgene
Open accessAbstract
Adenoviral (Ad)-mediated in vivo gene transfer and expression are limited in part by cellular immune responses to viral-encoded proteins and/or transgene immunogenicity. In an attempt to diminish the former responses, we have previously developed and described helper-dependent (HD) Ad vectors in which the viral protein coding sequences are completely eliminated. These HD vectors have up to 37 kb insert capacity, are easily propagated in a Cre recombinase-based system, and can be produced to high concentration and purity (>99.9% helper-free vector). In this study, we compared safety and efficacy of leptin gene delivery mediated by an HD vector (HD-leptin) and a first-generation E1-deleted Ad vector (Ad-leptin) in normal lean and ob/ob (leptin-deficient) mice. In contrast to evidence of liver toxicity, inflammation, and cellular infiltration observed with Ad-leptin delivery in mice, HD-leptin delivery was associated with a significant improvement in associated safety/toxicity and resulted in efficient gene delivery, prolonged elevation of serum leptin levels, and associated weight loss. The greater safety, efficient gene delivery, and increased insert capacity of HD vectors are significant improvements over current Ad vectors and represent favorable features especially for clinical gene therapy applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
