An adenovirus wherein at least one portion of at least one loop region of the hexon is changed. In one embodiment, the adenovirus, prior to modification, is of a first serotype, and at least a portion of at least one loop region of the hexon is removed and replaced with at least a portion of at least one loop region of the hexon of an adenovirus of a second serotype. Such modified adenoviruses do not have epitopes which are recognized by neutralizing antibodies to the unmodified adenovirus of the first serotype.
