What is adenovirus?

Adenoviruses are common viruses that can cause a range of illnesses, such as cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea, and pink eye (conjunctivitis). They are often used as vectors in gene therapy and vaccine development because they can efficiently deliver genetic material into cells. In vaccine development, adenoviruses are engineered to carry genes from a pathogen (like a virus or bacteria) to trigger an immune response in the recipient without causing illness. They are also being investigated for cancer therapy.

What other technologies are related to adenovirus?

adenovirus Competitor Technologies

Lentiviruses are used as gene therapy vectors, similar to adenoviruses, making them competitors. They are both viral vectors, but lentiviruses integrate into the host genome, while adenoviruses do not.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are also used as gene therapy vectors, presenting a competitive alternative to adenoviruses for gene delivery. Both are viral vectors, but AAV is known for its lower immunogenicity compared to adenovirus.
