Adenovirus vector is a useful tool for research in gene expression and regulation as well as gene therapy. However, the size of this vector is too large to construct it by a simple method. In this study, we successfully cleaved specifically at one target site of this large vector by artificial restriction DNA cutter (ARCUT). This result suggests that ARCUT will be the powerful tool for construction of large sized virus vectors.
