Recombinant adenovirus and adeno-associated virus, cell lines, and methods of production and use thereof

摘要

An adenovirus E1/E4 expressing packaging cell line is provided, which permits the generation of recombinant adenoviruses deleted in both gene regions. A method for enhancing the efficiency of transduction of a recombinant AAV into a target cell is provided by infecting a target cell with a recombinant AAV comprising a selected transgene under the control of regulatory sequences. The infected cell is contacted with an agent which facilitates the conversion of single stranded recombinant virus to its double stranded form.
