2. Resource Description

   "Recombinant adenoviral vectors are one of the most efficient viral vectors for gene delivery, both in vivo and in vitro, due to their high transduction efficiency, broad host range, ability to infect non-dividing cells, and potential for generating high titer virus. Applications for this vector include gene therapy, particularly in cases where high level, short term gene expression is required, vaccine applications and basic gene transfer studies. Recombinant adenoviral vectors are produced by direct cloning, produced in complementing cell lines and purified by cesium chloride gradient ultracentrifugation."
