Safe and efficient nucleic acid delivery to targeted cell populations remains a significant unmet need in the fields of cell and gene therapy. Towards this end, we pursued Adenoviral vectors genetically modified with the "DogTag" molecular glue peptide, which forms a spontaneous covalent bond with its partner protein, "DogCatcher". Genetic fusion of DogCatcher to single-domain or single-chain antibodies allowed covalent tethering of the antibody at defined locales on the vector capsid. This modification allowed simple, effective and exclusive targeting of the vector to cells bound by the linked antibody. This dramatically enhanced gene transfer into primary B and T cells and in mice. These studies form the basis of a novel method for targeting Adenovirus that is functional in stringent contexts and can be combined with additional well characterized Adenovirus modifications towards applications in cell engineering, gene therapy, vaccines, oncolytics, and others.
在细胞和基因治疗领域,将核酸安全有效地递送至靶向细胞群体仍然是一个尚未得到满足的重大需求。为此,我们研究了用“DogTag”分子胶肽进行基因改造的腺病毒载体,该肽与其伴侣蛋白“DogCatcher”形成自发共价键。将DogCatcher与单域抗体或单链抗体进行基因融合,可使抗体在载体衣壳的特定位置进行共价连接。这种修饰使得载体能够简单、有效且特异性地靶向与连接抗体结合的细胞。这显著增强了基因向原代B细胞和T细胞以及小鼠体内的转移。这些研究构成了一种新型腺病毒靶向方法的基础,该方法在严格条件下起作用,并且可以与其他已充分表征的腺病毒修饰相结合,用于细胞工程、基因治疗、疫苗、溶瘤病毒等领域。
