First-generation adenovirus vectors (FG AdVs) are widely used in basic studies and gene therapy. However, virus-associated (VA) RNAs that act as small-interference RNAs are indeed transcribed from the vector genome. These VA RNAs can trigger the innate immune response. Moreover, VA RNAs are processed to functional viral miRNAs and disturb the expressions of numerous cellular genes. Therefore, V...
