PORCINE KNOB XENOTYPE CHIMERIC ADENOVIRAL VECTOR FOR DENDRITIC CELL INFECTION

摘要

Disclosed are methods of transforming dendritic cells with a chimeric adenovirus-5 (Ad5). A chimeric adenovirus includes a fiber comprising a tail, a shaft and a knob, wherein the knob is a porcine knob, and a nucleic acid comprising a promoter operably linked to a heterologous sequence encoding an antigen peptide.
