Adenoviruses are medium-sized (80–100nm), non-enveloped viruses. They have an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a linear, double-stranded DNA genome of approximately 36kb (Nermut, 1984). The viral genome is grouped into different transcriptional units, designated early (E1, E2, E3, E4), intermediate, and late. The E1 gene is essential for activation of other viral genes and for viral replication. Deletion of the E1 gene results in viruses that are replication incompetent in normal cells. However, replication-competent viral particles can be produced from E1-deleted viral vectors by providing the E1 gene in trans. The E3 gene is non-essential for either viral replication or infection (Flint, 1999).
Adenovirus type 11 (Ad11) is associated with respiratory tract infections and conjunctivitis. It belongs to the B group of adenoviruses (along with Ad3) which use a different host cell receptor to Ad5 (Ad5 belongs to group C). Ad11 uses CD46 (and other receptors) whereas Ad5 binds the Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR). CAR expression is often down-regulated in human tumors, making Ad5-mediated gene transfer problematic. This has resulted in the development of chimeric Ad5/Ad11 vectors for improved oncolytic gene therapy.
