PCT No. PCT/US97/00370 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Jan. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/25446 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 17, 1997A method for generating adenoviral vectors from polynucleotides such as plasmids wherein there occurs recombinase-mediated transfer of an adenoviral ITR and terminal proteins bound to the ITR to a plasmid, thus enabling the plasmid to replicate as an adenoviral vector. Such method enables the rapid generation of adenoviral vectors at high titers from plasmids without the use of selectable markers and screening procedures. Such method enables the rapid generation of adenoviral vectors devoid of adenovirus backbone genes. The method also may be employed to generate hybrid adenoviral-retroviral vectors that convert transduced cells into producer cells that produce retroviral vectors to effect high level, permanent genetic modification of cells in vivo. |
