Subsequently, the cassette cosmid was cotransfected into 293 cells together with EcoT22I-digested Ad5-TPC, and the replication-deficient recombinant adenoviruses(Ad) of human GM-CSF were generated efficiently by homologous recombination, with the titers of 1.51×109pfu/ml. 48 hours after infection with prepared human GM-CSF recombinant adenoviruses in vitro, HeLa cells and primary human skin fibroblasts expressed high levels of human GM-CSF (80~400ng/106cells/24hr). These suggest that the recombinant Ad of human GM-CSF prepared by COS/TPC method is effective in mediating GM-CSF gene transfer and might be used in cancer gene therapy.
