At our company, we are fully committed to the development of viral vector vaccines to support your research projects. With our expertise and resources, we strive to deliver innovative solutions that contribute to advancements in vaccine development and ultimately improve global health outcomes.

What are Viral Vector Vaccines?

Viral vector vaccines represent a revolutionary approach to vaccination. They employ modified viruses, referred to as viral vectors, to deliver genetic material into host cells. These vectors act as carriers, transporting the genetic instructions that encode the desired protein or antigen into the cells' nucleus. Once inside, the host cells use this genetic information to produce the antigen, which triggers an immune response.

How Do Viral Vector Vaccines Trigger Immunity?

Viral vector vaccines stimulate both adaptive and innate immune responses.

Adaptive Immune

The genetic material delivered by the viral vector instructs host cells to produce the target protein, which is recognized as foreign by the immune system. This initiates an immune cascade, leading to the activation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and the subsequent presentation of the antigen to T cells.

Innate Immune

The presence of the viral vector itself further enhances the immune response. It stimulates the release of cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules, mimicking a natural infection and amplifying the immune reaction. As a result, both cellular and humoral immune responses are activated, providing a comprehensive defense against the target pathogen.

Approved Viral Vector Vaccines

Viral vector vaccines have gained significant recognition in recent years, with several notable vaccines receiving regulatory approval. Among the authorized viral vector vaccines are:

Vaccine Name Targeted Disease Viral Vectors
Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaccine (ChAdOx1) COVID-19 Chimpanzee adenovirus (ChAdOx1)
Sputnik V Vaccine COVID-19 Human adenovirus serotypes
Janssen Vaccine: COVID-19 Adenovirus serotype 26 (Ad26)
Convidecia Vaccine COVID-19 Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5)
Zabdeno/Mvabea Ebola Vaccine Ebola Virus Infection The first dose, Zabdeno, utilizes a human adenovirus serotype 26 (Ad26) as the viral vector.
The second dose, Mvabea, uses the same Ad26 vector and carries the genetic code of several Ebola virus proteins.

Viral Vector Vaccine Development Process

Target Identification and Antigen Selection

By understanding the biology of the pathogen and its components that induce immune responses, we assist you in identifying target pathogens or diseases and selecting antigens to be included in the vaccine.

Vector Selection

The genetic material encoding the antigens is delivered into host cells using appropriate viral vectors. Commonly used viral vectors include adenoviruses, lentiviruses, vesicular stomatitis viruses (VSV), and others. The choice of vector depends on factors such as safety, immunogenicity, and the ability to efficiently deliver genetic material.

Antigen Design and Vector Engineering

Next, the antigens are encoded into the viral vectors' genome. This can involve genetic engineering techniques to optimize antigen expression, stability, and immunogenicity. The viral vector may also be modified to enhance safety and reduce its ability to replicate.

Preclinical Trials

The engineered viral vector is then tested in preclinical studies using cell cultures and animal models. These studies evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the vaccine candidate. They help determine the appropriate dose, vaccination regimen, and formulation for further development.
