A one-step construction of adenovirus (OSCA) system using the Gibson DNA Assembly technology.

ABSTRACT: Adenovirus (Ad) is a non-enveloped linear double-stranded DNA virus with >50 serotypes in humans. Ad vectors have been used as gene delivery vehicles to express transgenes, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for gene silencing, or CRISPR/Cas and designer nucleases for genome editing. Although several methods are used to generate Ad vectors, the Ad-making process remains technically challenging and time consuming. Moreover, the Ad-making techniques have not been improved for the past two decades. Gibson DNA Assembly (GDA) technology allows one-step isothermal DNA assembly of multiple overlapping fragments. Here, we developed a one-step construction of Ad (OSCA) system using GDA technology. Specifically, we first engineered several adenoviral recipient vectors that contain the ccdB suici
