Non functional adenovirus

Hello all! I wanted to see if someone can help me. I have two adenoviral constructs that I made using the Stratagene pShuttle-CMV-IRES-hrGFP vector. When I have tried to amplify these adenoviruses in HEK293 cells I lose the GFP fluorescence. Fluorescence was present upon transfection of the adenoviral construct with lipofectamine, but when I harvest the virus once, and then infect again to amplify it I lose the GFP expression. I see no fluorescence!! I tried a western to see if my protein is present in HEK extracts but it is not there. What is going on? What do I need to do? I have made many other adenoviruses before and this never happened. Any comments?

Two possibilities:
1. recombination and packaging didn’t occur. 2. MOI is too low and 293 harvested too early. other possibilities?
