Abstract

Background: Conditionally replicative adenoviruses (CRAds) are widely studied tools for cancer gene therapy. The utility of CRAds is based on their ability to destroy tumor by oncolysis. Unfortunately, systemic adenoviral delivery into tumors and metastases is currently inefficient due to liver sequestration of intravenous virus and a neutralizing antibody response that hinders readministration. One potential solution for improving tumor targeting might be to engineer cells as viral carriers, thereby combining cellular tropism for tumors with the oncolytic effect provided by CRAds.
