- 7. A method for delivering a therapeutic polypeptide to a mammal, wherein said method comprises administering a single cycle replicating adenovirus to said mammal under conditions wherein said single cycle replicating adenovirus infects a cell of said mammal and replicates within said cell, wherein said cell does not produce new infectious virions following infection with said single cycle replicating adenovirus, wherein said single cycle replicating adenovirus comprises an adenovirus polypeptide selected from the group consisting of a fiber protein, a V protein, hexon, penton-base, and pIII, and wherein said single cycle replicating adenovirus lacks at least a portion of a nucleic acid sequence that encodes said adenovirus polypeptide, wherein when said single cycle replicating adenovirus lacks at least a portion of a nucleic acid sequence that encodes said fiber protein, said single cycle replicating adenovirus comprises a fiber protein having wild-type specificity, wherein said single cycle replicating adenovirus comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding said therapeutic polypeptide.
