Capsid-modified recombinant adenovirus and methods of use

The present invention describes recombinant adenoviral vectors modified by incorporating targeting ligands or label into viral capsid or structural proteins. In one embodiment, single-chain antibody was introduced into the minor capsid proteins pIIIa or pIX so that the adenoviral vector can be targeted to a particular cell type. In another embodiment, there is provided a noninvasive imaging strategy useful for monitoring the replication and spread of conditionally replicative adenoviral vectors. Viral structural proteins such as pIX capsid protein, core proteins mu, V and VII were expressed as fusion protein with a fluorescent label. Once incorporated into the virions, detection of the structural fusion protein label would indicate the localization of the disseminated viral progeny. The detected fluorescent signals also closely correlate with the level of viral replication and progeny production.

First, to solve the problems of the present invention, the present inventors confirmed the presence of ovarian cancer antigen-specific T cells in the peripheral blood of ovarian cancer patients by using an experimental system that detects combinations of CD4 and IL-4 or IFNγ. Next, using analogue peptides of the core protein MUC16 of the ovarian cancer-associated antibody C125, the present inventors revealed that antigen-specific CD4-positive T cells are present at an average frequency of about 4% in the peripheral mononuclear cells of patients and healthy subjects. Then, the present inventors analyzed the epitope for T cells in the core protein MUC16 of the ovarian cancer-associated antigen CA125, and determined the amino acid sequence FTLNFTITN (SEQ ID NO: 1) to be a shorter epitope. The present inventors further discovered that the analogue peptide OVCA11: GHTAPOPLLVPFTLNFTITN (SEQ ID NO: 11) is suitable for T cell activation.
