Recombinant viral vectors are an important class of therapeutic gene delivery vehicles. However, because they expose the recipient to foreign proteins, the host immune response is an important consideration in their use in the treatment of human disease. In particular, the toxicity of therapeutically useful viral vectors may limit the dose that can be administered, the duration of transgene expression, and the ability to readminister the vector, all of which may have a significant impact on therapeutic efficacy. Adenovirus, retrovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV) vectors have received the most attention and many clinical trials are under way to test their utility in treating a variety of genetic and acquired disorders. Adenoviral vectors, in particular, are being studied for the treatment of several central nervous system (CNS) and non-CNS diseases (1), and two clinical trials are currently underway using adenovirus vectors to treat gliomas (2). Vector applications can be categorized on the basis of the desired duration of transgene expression and the effect of the immune response on the target cell. For example, correction of such disorders as Parkinson’ s disease (PD) will likely require long-term gene expression and no immune response to the transduced cell. In contrast, viral-based vaccines and anticancer strategies involving immune modulation of brain tumor cells may effectively benefit from short-term gene expression in the context of a significant immune response to the transduced cells. In other clinical applications involving the gene delivered enzyme-prodrug therapies (GDEPT) (3,4) it is not clear how the immune response to the vector will impact on the overall therapy. In our studies, we have found that two successive injections of adenovirus expressing the HSV thymidine kinase (HSVTK) gene in conjunction with systemic ganciclovir (GCV) has been well tolerated. Patients have received up to 109 pfu of virus with concomitant administration of large doses of glucocorticoids with no apparent toxicity to date (5; J. Alavi, K. Judy, and S. Eck, University of Pennsylvania, unpublished observations).
