Viral vectors as vaccine platforms: from immunogenicity to impact

Highlights • Safety and potency of simian adenovirus vectors is now well established, most recently in infants. • Viral vectored vaccines are effective against malaria and Ebola in field trials. • Protective mechanisms involve both CD8+ T cells and neutralising antibodies. • Vaccine manufacture is s...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Safety and potency of simian adenovirus vectors is now well established, most recently in infants. • Viral vectored vaccines are effective against malaria and Ebola in field trials. • Protective mechanisms involve both CD8+ T cells and neutralising antibodies. • Vaccine manufacture is sufficiently scalable to enable a rapid response to outbreaks.
