Preexisting immunity against human adenoviruses (HAd) limits the efficiency of transduction of HAd vectors in humans. In addition, development of a vector-specific immune response after the first inoculation with a HAd vector further lowers vector uptake following readministration. We investigated the usefulness of porcine adenovirus serotype 3 (PAd3)-based vectors as a supplement to HAd vectors. Here we demonstrate that preexisting HAd-specific neutralizing antibodies in humans do not cross-neutralize PAd3. In order to generate E1A-deleted PAd3 vectors, an E1-complementing cell line of porcine origin was produced. E1A-deleted PAd3 vector expressing green fluorescent protein; GFP (PAd-GFP) and E1-deleted HAd5 vector expressing GFP (HAd-GFP) transduced human cell lines with comparable efficiencies. Both of these vectors efficiently transduced murine MT1A2 breast cancer cell line, while PAd-GFP transduced murine NIH 3T3 fibroblast cell line significantly better (P < 0.05) than HAd-GFP. These results suggest that PAd3 vectors would be promising supplement to HAd vectors as a delivery vehicle for recombinant vaccines and gene therapy applications.
