Generation of packaging system for human recombinant adenoviral vectors

摘要

The invention discloses novel means and methods for the generation of adenovirus vector. One method of the invention entails a method for generating an adenovirus vector comprising welding together two nucleic acid molecules whereby said molecules comprise partially overlapping sequences capable of combining with each other allowing the generation of a physically linked nucleic acid comprising at least two functional adenovirus inverted terminal repeats, a functional encapsulation signal and a nucleic acid of interest or functional parts, derivatives and/or analogues thereof. The invention further discloses nucleic acid molecules for generation adenovirus vectors.
