    Abstract: Introduction of DNA fragments into eukaryotic cells exposes them to cellular enzymes, such DNases that have the ability to destroy these DNA fragments and thus reduce the function. The invention provides means and methods reducing the enzymatic destruction of linear DNA fragments transfected into cells. To this purpose, expression constructs are designed that carry genes for proteins that bind to DNA fragments and prevent the enzymatic destruction of the linear DNA fragments. The use of these genes and expression vectors in modifying packaging cells for the enhanced production of viral gene therapy vectors and methods of making these packaging cells are provided.

The present invention provides a solution to this problem. It describes how the production efficiencies can be enhanced for gene transfer vectors that are produced by the transfer of DNA and RNA into production cells. The present invention lies m the use of cell cycle control in optimizing the production of gene transfer vectors. The subject of this patent is the modification of cell growth and physiology to enhance the efficiency of vector production. An example is given for the effect of certain media components on the cell cycle and production rate of a fully deleted helper virus independent adenoviral vector.
