Title:
ADENOVIRUS VECTORS COMPRISING INTRONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002006502
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention disclosed herein provides adenovirus vectors comprising introns 5' to transgenes. Such adenovirus vectors are useful for expression of proteins. Methods of making and using these adenovirus vectors are provided herein. In particular, methods of obtaining increased expression of viral proteins from the adenovirus vectors comprising introns 5' to transgenes is provided.
