| Method |
"In a conventional adenovirus (Ad) vector production method using 293 cells, homologous recombination
between Ad vector DNA and 293 cell-derived AdE1 DNA occurs with low efficiency, resulting in the generation of replication-competent adenovirus (RCA). RCA can induce the spread of replication-incompetent
Ad vectors, leading to unexpected tissue damage. In order to overcome this problem, [researchers] developed an Ad vector production system free of RCA generation by utilizing the Ad packaging size limit of the viral
genome." |
| Comments |
"It is well known that up to approximately 105% (37.7kb) of the wild-type genome (35.9kb) can be packaged in the Ad virion...(Bett et al., 1993)." |
