摘　　要：Vector GtiIX containing human clotting factor IX cDNA with intron 1 (hFIX mini-gene or Fi’IX) driven by CMV promoter was constructed based on the mini-adenoviral vector GT2073 (mini-Ad vector) with all viral protein coding sequences deleted. Mini-Ad packaging cell 293Cre4 was first transduced with GTiIX, and then was transfected with helper-adenovirus AdLC8, thus mini-Ad virions AdGTiIX were obtained. At the same time, previous normal adenoviral vector pAdSPiIX containing viral genome and hFIX mini-gene was constructed, and then previous ade-novirus (pre-Ad) AdSPiIX was obtained as control. The ratio of helper-adenovirus among purified virons AdGTiIX was less than 0.8%. 3T3 cells were transfected with AdGTiIX and AdSPiIX at a MOI of 50 per cell and ELISA result showed that transient expression level in vitro was 1.4±0.2 mg /106·24 h and 1.6±0.3 mg/106·24 h respectively. Each hemophilia B (FIX knock-out) mouse received celiac injection of 11010pfu AdGTiIX or AdSPiIX. The highest expression level of hFIX in mouse plasma was 590 ng/mL and 690 ng/mL respectively, and the expression time lasted for 16 weeks and 9 weeks respectively. The bleeding time reduced from over 30 min to 7.5 min, and 5-min blood lost reduced from 430 mL to 60 mL. The results of anti-Ad IgG assays indicated that immune response triggered by AdGTiIX was obviously weaker than that triggered by AdSPiIX. These results indicated that, compared with previous adenovirus (pre-Ad), the mini-Ad vector sys-tem prolonged the expression time of hFIX and reduced immune response, thus offering a prom-ising result for further pre-clinical study.Vector GtiIX containing human clotting factor IX cDNA with intron 1 (hFIX mini-gene or Fi'IX) driven by CMV promoter was constructed based on the mini-adenoviral vector GT2073 (mini-Ad vector) with all viral protein coding sequences deleted.
