Abstract:
1. A method of making a recombinant adenovirus, comprising: assembling an adenoviral core module destination vector by combining a hybridization competent vector backbone with one or more hybridization competent adenoviral gene modules by sequence and ligation independent cloning (SLIC), wherein the one or more hybridization competent adenoviral gene modules form a core module that comprises an E2-L2 module, an L3-L4 module, both an E2-L2 module and an L3-L4 module, or an E2-L4 module, wherein the core module is at least 12 kb in length; inserting into the adenoviral core module destination vector recombination site nucleic acid sequences that flank the core module, thereby forming a recombination competent core module destination vector; and assembling an adenovirus genome by combining the recombination competent core module destination vector with one or more recombination competent adenoviral gene modules by site-specific recombination, wherein the one or more recombination competent adenoviral gene modules comprise an E1 module, an E3 module, an E4 module, or any combination thereof.
