The risk of given the need to administer treatment frequently (because of the inability of immune response to these vectors is negligible. This is an important consideration adenovirus to integrate into chromosomal DNA). They also have advantage that they can accept much larger inserts(up to 35kb).
It is clear that for a wide variety of cell types, adenovirus (Ad) gives more efficient gene transfer compared with other systems, especially in vivo. Ad vectors can transfer genes to both proliferating and quiescent cells. Following delivery, transgene expression is at a high level, but is transient , being low or undetectable in most tissues after two weeks.
This is because Ad vectors do not integrate and for safety reasons are disabled for replication.
They are large viruses and so have the potential for accepting large insertsThey are large viruses and so have the potential for accepting large insertsThey are large viruses and so have the potential for accepting large insertsThey are large viruses and so have the potential for accepting large insertsThey are large viruses and so have the potential for accepting large inserts
