This invention provides a recombinant adenovirus expression vector characterized by the partial or total deletion of the adenoviral protein IX DNA and having a gene encoding a foreign protein or a functional fragment or mutant thereof. Transformed host cells and a method of producing recombinant proteins and gene therapy also are included within the scope of this invention. Thus, for example, the adenoviral vector of this invention can contain a foreign gene for the expression of a protein effective in regulating the cell cycle, such as p53, Rb, or mitosin, or in inducing cell death, such as the conditional suicide gene thymidine kinase. (The latter must be used in conjunction with a thymidine kinase metabolite in order to be effective).

A recombinant adenovirus which carries an adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter, wherein infection of a tumor cell with said adenovirus results in a p53 protein level sufficient to inhibit tumor cell growth in vivo.
An adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter, wherein infection of a tumor cell with said adenovirus results in a p53 protein level sufficient to inhibit tumor cell growth in vivo.
A recombinant adenovirus which carries an adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a promoter, wherein said adenovirus expresses p53 in a host cell at a level sufficient to restore growth suppression to a tumor cell in vivo.
A recombinant adenovirus which carries an adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter, wherein said adenovirus expresses p53 in a tumor cell at a level sufficient to restore growth suppression to said tumor cell in vivo.
An adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter, wherein said adenovirus vector construct expresses p53 tumor in a cell at a level sufficient to restore growth suppression to said tumor cell in vivo.
A recombinant adenovirus which carries an adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter, wherein said adenovirus expresses p53 in a tumor cell at a level sufficient to kill said tumor cell in vivo.
An adenovirus vector construct comprising an expression region encoding p53 under the control of a cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter, wherein said adenovirus vector construct expresses p53 in a tumor cell at a level sufficient to kill said tumor cell in vivo.
