Therapeutic monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody (Rituxan) is increasingly applied to treat B-cell-related hematologic malignancies and autoimmune disorders with great clinical success, whereas its widespread application is limited by antibody manufacturing capability. Here, we explored a quick and economical adenovirus-mediated anti-CD20 antibody generating system to directly produce anti-CD20 antibody in vivo. We generated a recombinant adenovirus encoding the anti-CD20 antibody gene and found that infection of cells with this recombinant adenovirus led to the generation of anti-CD20 antibody in cells with a similar CD20 binding affinity and specificity as commercial product Rituxan. After one single administration of the anti-CD20-expressing adenoviruses through tail vein at a dose of 1 x 10(9) plaque-forming units/mouse in nude mice, anti-CD20 antibody in the serum was detectable at day 3, reached to the peak value of 246.34 microg/mL at day 14, and maintained a high serum concentration of &gt;40 microg/mL for 56 days. Furthermore, the in vivo generation of anti-CD20 antibody led a complete elimination of preestablished B-cell lymphoma Raji cells in nude mice, and a single administration of the anti-CD20-expressing adenovirus at a dose of 2.0 x 10(9) plaque-forming units/kg in cynomolgus monkey led a continuous B-cell deletion in circulation blood and bone marrow. These observations thus suggest that adenovirus-mediated in vivo generation of anti-CD20 antibody may serve as a new strategy to combat B-cell-related hematologic disorders.
