ADENOVATOR™ ADENOVIRAL VECTOR SYSTEMThe Most Powerful Adenoviral Expression System Available
Figure 1: Coomassie blue stained gelof total proteins produced in A549(lanes 1-6) and HeLa (lanes 7-12) cellsinfected with Ad5.CMV5-R1 (lanes 2-6,8-12) and extracted at 48 hours postinfection. Cells were mock infected(lane 1 and 7) or infected at MOIs of 50 (lane 2, 8), 100 (lane 3, 9), 200 (lane 4, 10), 400 (lane 5, 11), and 800 (lane 6, 12). Recombinant R1 production is 25-30% TCP at the highest MOI tested.
Protein Over-Expression inMammalian Cells
Adenoviruses have the advantage of delivering genes
in vitro and in vivo with very high efficiency to a broad host
range and allow for high expression levels of the insert gene.
The adenoviral vector is one of the best systems to use for
gene delivery experiments, protein over-expression in human
cells and gene therapy research.
Advantages
� Highest level of protein expression obtainable by using the unique CMV5 promoter.(1)
� Rapid identification and quantification of co-expressedgenes of interest using GFP or BFP.(2, 3)
� Fast and reliable: Only three easy steps to generate a recombinant Adenovirus — fully compatible with ourAdEasy™ Vector System.(4)
� Comprehensive kit, instruction manual and specialized after-sales technical support.
Increased Protein Expression
The AdenoVator™ Adenoviral Vector System is routinely used
for both protein production and gene transfer experiments.
Among the attractive features of the AdenoVator™ System is
the high gene transfer capacity in a wide range of cell types,
(in vitro and in vivo) and the efficient transgene expression
exhibited. For gene transfer experiments in non-permissive cells,
most Adenoviruses (Ad) make use of the cytomegalovirus (CMV)
immediate-early (IE) promoter-enhancer in the expression cas-
sette, as this promoter is one of the strongest in a wide range
of cell types. Despite this fact, Adenoviruses with CMV-based
expression cassettes rarely produce protein exceeding 1 to 2%
TCP (Total Cellular Protein) after infection of either non-permissive
cells (i.e., A549, HeLa) or 293 cells.(1)

AdenoVator™ Transfer Vectors allow for the production
of unprecedented levels of recombinant protein in
complementing and non-complementing cell lines.
The main feature of these new vectors is the CMV5
promoter, a combination of enhancer sequences that
increases the transcriptional and translational activities
of the CMV promoter in recombinant Adenoviral
Vectors (AdV). The CMV5 promoter was constructed
by the insertion, downstream of the transcription
start site of the human CMV IE promoter-enhancer,
of the adenovirus tripartite leader (Ad-tpl) with the
adenovirus major late enhancer bracketed by splice
donor and acceptor sites. The Ad-tpl binds translation-
initiating proteins much more efficiently than most
messages. This is a strategy developed by the virus for
efficient translation of the late proteins and is exploited
in these expression vectors. The tpl is composed of
three segments all of which are required for efficient
translation. Although in most cases the presence of
the tpl is thought to facilitate translation, there is
some evidence for its role in improving gene expression
at the level of transcription and message stability.
The pAdenoVator-CMV5 transfer vector significantly
improves the utility of AdV for high-level transgene
expression in mammalian cells and it allows for very
high levels of recombinant protein production in
non-permissive cell lines. This feature greatly simplifies
the production and purification effort, since the
recombinant protein can be produced at levels
approaching 20 to 30% of total cellular protein (TCP)
in the absence of the synthesis of other viral proteins.
The high level of expression achieved with these AdV
in non-permissive cells supports the expression of
transgenes at significant levels in vivo at lower MOIs,
thereby minimizing the toxic side effects.
As shown in Figure 1, the AdenoVator™ System is a
very efficient protein production system allowing
the expression of proteins at near saturation levels in
absence of viral replication in a wide variety of mam-
malian cells. This feature facilitates protein purification
since no other abundant viral proteins are produced.
Moreover, due to the absence of viral replication and
host protein shut-off, the production host can be
maintained in good physiological state for prolonged
periods of time and continue to synthesize the
recombinant protein if secreted in the medium.
Co-expression with GFP and BFP
To improve the utility of the AdenoVator™ Adenoviral
Vector System, coding sequences for the Green and
Blue Fluorescent Protein (GFP and BFP, respectively)
have been included in the optimized pAdenoVator-
CMV5 transfer vectors. These markers of gene
expression have the unique feature of being
detectable in living cells and whole organisms.
Co-expression of GFP or BFP greatly simplifies
the process of recombinant virus identification
and increases the utility of the recombinant Ad.
Generally, recombinant Ads are identified as plaques
on a monolayer of 293 cells that have been overlaid
with agarose. Individual plaques are verified as
being genuinely recombinant by screening methods
that involve plaque elution and amplification followed
by screening (western, PCR, etc.) to verify the presence
of the recombinant protein. By contrast, recombinant
Ads co-expressing GFP or BFP are easily identified by
direct observation with an inverted fluorescent
microscope. Moreover, since GFP or BFP expression
is detectable one day after the transfection of the
recombinant adenovirus DNA in 293 cells, it can be
used to monitor the efficiency of transfection, a
crucial parameter for the successful generation of
recombinant Ads. For in vivo applications GFP or
BFP expression streamlines the identification of
infected cells and so can be used to measure the
effectiveness of the gene transfer protocol.

Figure 4: In the AdenoVator™ System the cDNA of interestis first cloned into a transfer vector. The resulting plasmid is
then linearized and co-transformed into E. coli strainBJ5183 together with pAdenoVator ∆E1/E3, the viral DNA
plasmid. This plasmid is E1 and E3 deleted and its E1 functions can be complemented in 293 cells. Upon homol-ogous recombination, clones are selected with kanamycinand screened by restriction enzyme analysis. The recombi-
nant adenoviral construct is then cleaved with Pac I toexpose its ITR (Inverted Terminal Repeats) and transfected
into QBI-293A cells to produce viral particles.
Easy-to-use E. coli-based System
The AdenoVator™ System is a fast and easy alterna-
tive to traditional adenoviral systems and is fully
compatible with the Qbiogene AdEasy™ Vector Kits.
The AdenoVator™ System exploits the robust and
efficient E. coli homologous recombination system.
The construction of a recombinant Ad is a simple
process in which the desired expression cassette is
first assembled into a transfer vector, and subse-
quently transferred into the adenoviral genome by
homologous recombination. Insertion of DNA by
homologous recombination is the most efficient way
of introducing a gene into an AdV because its
genome is too large (36 kb) to be easily manipulated
by conventional molecular biology techniques.
