Targeting polymer coated adenovirus to tumour-associated vasculature

Abstract:

Tumour-associated vasculature provides an accessible target for systemic gene therapy using targeted adenoviruses. The aim of this thesis is to develop strategies for targeting adenovirus infection to tumour-associated endothelium.

Adenovirus expressing luciferase (Adluc) was coated with an amino-reactive polymer based on poly [N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide] [pHPMA] to ablate normal infection pathways¬. This was a pre-requisite to redirecting virus tropism to infect endothelia...
