Recombinant adenoviruses were constructed using a ViraPower Adenoviral Expression System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For this, human SP1 complementary DNA (cDNA) were cloned into the adenoviral-generating constructs [25]. The construct was then transfected into 293A cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using FuGENE 6 (Roche Diagnostics), and the cells were subcultured to generate recombinant adenoviruses carrying these genes under the control of the human cytomegalovirus immediate‐early enhancer/promoter. The viruses were titrated by limiting dilution plaque titration on 293A cells, and used at 50–100 plaque‐forming units/cell. Our preliminary experiments showed that the efficiency of transduction by this method is almost 100 %.
