Abstract

Solid tumors including glioblastoma have several characteristics that make them suitable targets for gene therapy. They are localized and thus accessible by direct intratumoral injection. In addition, metastases of these tumors are of late-stage occurrence. Therefore, early loco-regional control of the disease is paramount. Cancer gene therapies that utilize either adeno-associated virus (AAV) or adenovirus (Adv) gene delivery strategy have been developed. However, due to the low in vivo transduction efficiency of AAV and the undesirably strong immunogenecity of Adv, their utilization in clinical settings has been greatly limited.
