Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compositions and methods for retargeting adenovirus to a cell using chemical dimers are described. In particular, a recombinant adenovirus comprising a nucleic acid comprising a capsid-dimerizing agent binder conjugate and a ligand-dimerizing agent binder conjugate is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A recombinant adenovirus comprising a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a capsid-dimerizing agent binder conjugate and a ligand-dimerizing agent binder conjugate, wherein the capsid-dimerizing agent binder conjugate comprises an adenoviral fiber protein and a FRB protein inserted into the H1 loop of the adenoviral fiber protein, and the ligand-dimerizing agent binder conjugate comprises a ligand and a FKBP protein, wherein the FRB protein is encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 69 and the FKBP protein is at least 90% identical to the FKBP protein encoded by SEQ ID NO: 66, and wherein said insertion of the FRB protein into the H1 loop of the adenoviral fiber protein does not inhibit replication and assembly of the adenovirus. 2. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 1 , wherein the ligand is capable of binding a tumor cell. 3. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 1 , wherein the ligand is an antibody. 4. The recombinant adenovirus claim 3 , wherein the antibody is a single domain antibody. 5. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 1 , wherein the FKBP protein is a human FKBP protein. 6. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 5 , wherein the human FKBP protein is FKBP12. 7. A recombinant adenovirus comprising a capsid-dimerizing agent binder conjugate, wherein the capsid-dimerizing agent binder conjugate comprises an adenoviral fiber protein and a FRB protein inserted into the H1 loop of the adenoviral fiber protein, wherein the FRB protein is encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 69, and wherein said insertion of the FRB protein into the H1 loop of the adenoviral fiber protein does not inhibit replication and assembly of the adenovirus. 8. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 7 , wherein the capsid-dimerizing agent binder conjugate is bound to a dimerizing agent. 9. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 8 , wherein the dimerizing agent is further bound to a ligand-dimerizing agent binder conjugate, wherein the ligand-dimerizing agent binder conjugate comprises a ligand and a FKBP protein at least 90% identical to the FKBP protein encoded by SEQ ID NO: 66. 10. The recombinant adenovirus of claim 8 , wherein the dimerizing agent is rapamycin or a rapalog.
