Recombinant adenoviruses provide a versatile system for gene expression studies and therapeutic applications. This invention describes a strategy which simplifies the generation and production of such viruses. A recombinant adenoviral plasmid is generated with a minimum of enzymatic manipulations, employing homologous recombination in bacteria rather than in eucaryotic cells. Following transfections of such plasmids into a mammalian packaging cell line, viral production can be conveniently followed with the aid of green fluorescent protein, encoded by a gene incorporated into the viral backbone. Homogeneous viruses can be obtained from this procedure without plaque purification. This system expedites the process of generating and testing recombinant adenoviruses.

Les adénovirus recombinés constituent un système polyvalent utile pour des études d'expression de gènes et des applications thérapeutiques. L'invention concerne une stratégie simplifiant la formation et la production de tels virus. On forme un plasmide adénoviral recombiné avec un minimum de manipulations enzymatiques en utilisant une recombinaison homologue dans des bactéries plutôt que dans des cellules eucaryotes. Suite à des transfections de ces plasmides dans une lignée de cellules d'encapsidation de mammifère, une production virale peut être menée de façon adéquate à l'aide d'une protéine fluorescente verte, codée par une gène incorporé dans le squelette viral. Des virus homogènes peuvent être obtenus au moyen de ce procédé sans purification de plage de lyse. Ce système permet d'accélérer le processus de formation et la mise en oeuvre d'essais d'adénovirus recombinés.
