Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adenovirus has been extensively studied and used in human gene therapy, as it is relatively easy to manipulate genetically and can infect a wide range of cell types without integrating into the host genome.

Human papilloma virus is associated with cancer and is not a suitable vector, while bacteriophage λ primarily infects bacteria and is not relevant for human gene therapy.
