Human adenoviruses are widespread causative agent that induces
respiratory diseases,
epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and other related
diseases.
Adenoviruses are commonly used in experimental and clinical areas. It is one of the most commonly used
virus vectors in
gene therapy, and it has attracted a lot of
attention and has a high
research potential in
tumor gene therapy and
virus oncolytic. Here, we summarize the
biological characteristics,
epidemiology and current application of
adenovirus, in order to provide reference for
engineering application of
adenovirus.
