Abstract
Adenoviral (Adv) vectors are widely used in both experimental and clinical trials for vaccination and gene therapy. Recombinant Adv can evoke potent innate immune responses and adaptive immune responses to encoded antigens. However, how Adv infection affects the response to subsequently encountered antigens is poorly understood. We show that intravenously administered replication defective (E1 and E3 deleted) Adv educes functional changes in dendritic cells (DC) resulting in impaired priming of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) more than 7 days after Adv treatment. Generalized DC activation was indicated by transient upregulation of CD86 and reduced endocytosis of fluorescent beads. It is known ..
