Adenoviral Transduction of Dendritic Cells

Recombinant adenoviral (rAd) vectors are highly suitable for efficient genetic modification of dendritic cells (DC). In certain cases, the high immunogenicity of rAd may be a disadvantage This chapter describes the essential aspects of optimal rAd-mediated gene transfer into DC, discusses the consequences of the immunogenicity of rAd vectors, and provides suggestions to minimize these complications.
