Generate Adenovirus Vectors in E. coli by Homologous Recombination with the AdEasy Adenoviral Vector System

...e E3gene encodes proteins involved in evading host immunity and is dispensable. Notonly do these deletions prevent the virus from replicating itself, they alsocreate space for up to 7.5 kb of foreign DNA. 1 Two methods have traditionally been used to generate recombinantadenoviruses. The first involves dire...
