Which viral expression system (adenovirus, retrovirus and lentivirus) should I use for my experiments?
A. Adenovirus can infect many types of mammalian including dividing and non-dividing or primary cells with high efficiency. They do not disrupt the genome of the host cell but remain in the nucleus as episomal DNA. However, adenovirus only provides a transient, high level gene expression in vitro and in vivo.
