Cry proteins, in general, have no adverse effects on higher animals, including mammals since, there are no specific receptors in the gastrointestinal tracts of mammals.

Adenoviral vectors

Adenoviruses are large linear double-stranded DNA viruses. Their large size enables them to accept large inserts.

These vectors are advantageous in that they can deliver many genome copies per host cell and so typically are associated with high expression.

Proteins encoded by early region (E1, E2, E3, E4) genes are involved in viral DNA replication, cell cycle modulation and defense system. The late region genes (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) encodes the viral structural proteins.

The genetic expression from adenoviruses is transient, where the DNA is free within the host cell’s nucleus (episomal) where it can be transcribed, but upon cell division these genes will not be replicated.
