pAdTrack-CMV (Addgene plasmid #16405) and AdEasier-1 cells (Addgene #16399) were gifts from Bert Vogelstein (52 (link)). The pAdTrack plasmids were linearized by digesting with restriction endonuclease Pme I and subsequently recombined into E. coli BJ5183 cells containing the adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdEasy-1 (AdEasier-1 cells). Recombinants were selected for kanamycin resistance, and the recombination confirmed by restriction endonuclease analyses. Finally, the recombinant plasmids were linearized with PacI before transfection with Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher) into the adenovirus packaging cell lines HEK293 cells. The control vector Ad-GFP, Ad-HiBiTUL7, Ad-HiBiTUL8-V5, and Ad-HiBiTUL8-mutDTEL-V5 were produced, purified, and titered in HEK293, as previously described (48 (link)).
