We describe the use of a human bronchial xenograft model for studying the efficiency and
biology of in vivo gene transfer into human bronchial epithelia with recombinant E1 deleted
adenoviruses. All cell types in the surface epithelium except basal cells efficiently expressed
the adenoviral transduced recombinant genes, lacZ and CFTR, for 3–5 weeks. Stable
transgene expression was associated with high level expression of the early adenoviral
gene, E2a, in a subset of transgene expressing cells and virtually undetectable expression …
