Extensive knowledge of the molecular biology and immunology of adenoviruses (Ad) has favored Ad vectors as platforms for vaccine design. The Ad\based vaccine platform represents an attractive strategy as it induces robust humoral and cell\mediated immune responses and can meet the global demand in a pandemic situation. This review describes the status of Ad vector\based vaccines in preclinical and clinical studies for current and emerging respiratory viruses, particularly coronaviruses, influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial viruses. Ag85A protein. 246 , 247 A BAd\based TB vaccine expressing an immunogenic epitope of Ag85B has demonstrated excellent potential in a challenge study in mice. 248 While the Ad platform has shown remarkable results; it may be a better choice for pathogens of high virulence and pandemic potential. There could be a concern that this frequent use of an Ad vector platform will develop widespread pre\existing Ad immunity, which would dampen the effectiveness of that particular Ad vector system. However, because of the availability of several human and nonhuman Ad\based vaccine platforms, the issue of pre\existing or vaccine\induced Ad immunity could easily be handled by alternate use of two or more Ad vector systems. Further studies are needed to fully explore the roles of other routes, including intradermal, s.c., i.n. and oral in inducing improved immune responses with various Ad vectors. Other delivery devices, such as skin patches and nanoparticles, should be tried for targeting specialised cells and prolonging the duration of vector\transduced cells KRAS G12C inhibitor 13 for enhanced immune responses. It is crucial to modify Ad vectors for better targeting of APCs and superior processing of immunogenic epitopes within various compartments of vector\infected cells. The next generation of Ad vectors may be designed having limited capability to replicate or express self\replicating mRNA for improved durability of antigen\specific immune responses. The role of primary and boost with two different Ad vectors in inducing enhanced, broad and durable immune responses needs to be further investigated.
