Abstract

Various early and late temperature-sensitive mutants of adenovirus (Ad) were able to support adeno-associated virus (AAV) DNA replication in either coinfections or in the rescue of AAV from latently infected human (Detroit 6) cells. Group I Ad host range mutants ( hr 3, early region 1a) were unable to help AAV DNA replication in either case. Group II Ad host range mutants ( hr 6, early region 1b), however, were able to help AAV DNA replication in coinfection but were unable to rescue AAV DNA replication in latently infected Detroit 6 cells. Thus, an Ad function(s), in addition to those required for AAV DNA replication, is needed for AAV rescue.
