Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease with poor prognosis. This warrants the development of novel therapies including gene therapy. However, clinical studies have demonstrated poor efficacy of ...
SK pharmteco today announced the launch of SKyvecâ„¢, its proprietary, multimodal viral vector platform. Designed to support ...
AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford offered a promising but confusing early look at late-stage data for their experimental adenoviral vector vaccine for COVID-19. The preliminary results suggest ...
To evaluate the treatment of spinal cord injury with glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) delivered using an adenoviral vector (AdV-GDNF group) in comparison with treatment performed using ...
Viral vectors are gaining increasing importance in various medical applications. Among the different types of viral vectors, adenoviral (Ad) vectors have been used for a long time and have now ...
Purpose: We investigated the feasibility, safety, and biologic activity of adenovirus-mediated p53 gene transfer in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer. Results: Thirteen patients received a ...
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* server, researchers assessed the immunogenicity of the self-developed recombinant adenovirus vector (rAd5) vaccine on macaques. They evaluated the efficacy of ...
Vaccination is undoubtedly one of the most effective means of preventing infectious diseases by provoking an active acquired immunity to pathogens, such as harmful bacteria or viruses. This is ...
First-generation adenovirus vectors (FG AdVs) are widely used in basic studies and gene therapy. However, virus-associated (VA) RNAs that act as small-interference RNAs are indeed transcribed from the ...
Adenoviral vectors will transduce a wide range of target cells resulting in high-level gene expression. They are non-integrating vectors so expression in dividing cells is progressively lost. First ...
