Isolation of novel simian adenoviruses from macaques for development of a vector for human gene therapy and vaccines

IMPORTANCE: Adenoviruses are widely used in gene therapy and vaccine delivery. Due to the high prevalence of human adenoviruses (HAdVs), the pre-existing immunity against HAdVs in humans is common, which limits the wide and repetitive use of HAdV vectors. In contrast, the pre-existing immunity against simian adenoviruses (SAdVs) is low in humans. Therefore, we performed epidemiological investigations of SAdVs in simians and found that the SAdV prevalence was as high as 33.9%. The whole-genome sequencing and sequence analysis showed SAdV diversity and possible cross species transmission. One isolate with low level of pre-existing neutralizing antibodies in humans was used to construct replication-deficient SAdV vectors with E4orf6 substitution and E1/E3 deletion. Interestingly, we found that the E3 region plays a critical role in its replication in human cells, but the absence of this region could be compensated for by the E4orf6 from HAdV-5 and the E1 expression intrinsic to HEK293 cells.
