Title:
ADENOVIRUS VECTORS WITH KNOBLESS FIBERS, AND THEIR USES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001081607
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel adenoviral vectors, in which the knob of the fiber protein has been removed and replaced with a binding ligand. The invention also provides methods of constructing such vectors and provides uses for such vectors. A modified knobless adenovirus comprising a new binding ligand according to the invention has improved capabilities of entry into specific cell types.
