Biological bypass through induced angiogenesis by vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) gene therapy (GT) is a new concept for the treatment of cardiac ischemia. Serotype 5 adenoviruses are used in the clinical trials for transferring the VEGF-D cDNA into the ischemic myocardium. However, the presence of replication-competent vectors in the adenovirus products is a widely recognized problem that may pose a potential safety risk to the treated patients. We compared three different VEGF-D GT production lots containing different levels of replication-competent adenoviruses (RCA) tested in 3 x 10(10) viral particles (vp):
