The limitation of traditional Ad vectors result in wide application of capsid-incorporation of antigens into adenovirus capsid proteins, but usually it can't rescue virus successfully when we engineered the hypervariable regions (HVRs) of hexon in adenovirus serotype 3(Ad3) vector. So we deleted or retained some amino acids in HVR1, HVR2, HVR5, HVR7 predicted by bioinformatics, constructed recombinant Ad3 vector pBRAddeltaE3GFP-mHexon, and transfected it into AD293 cell to confirm the influence on the virus rescue. These data of amino acids that can be deleted or retained in the HVRs of Ad3 vector should provide operating foundation for antigen capsid-incorporation strategy in human adenovirus serotype 3, and also lay the groundwork for application of expressing foreign antigens in the hexon of human adenovirus serotype 3 as a platform of multivalent vaccine vectors.

Haemophilus influenzae serotype A is a rare cause of meningitis and invasive disease in pediatric patients. A six-month-old infant presented to the emergency room with fever, cough and nasal drip. On admission, the infant was alert and hemodynamically stable but progressively became more lethargic with bulging of the fontanelle.

Objective: Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), commonly called pink eye, saw an alarming increase in incidence from July to September 2023 in different parts of India. Pink eye occurrences had reportedly increased three to four times more than in prior years, raising concerns among the community and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to identify the aetiological agent associated with AHC in 2023, genetically characterize the agent and describe the clinical presentation.

A safe and effective vaccine is urgently needed to prevent acute respiratory infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Oral administration offers several advantages, including ease of delivery, minimal stress for vaccine recipients, and greater safety than the systemic injection. In this study, we developed an oral vaccine candidate based on the human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) vector, Ad5-PreF-DS2, encoding a prefusion protein of RSV with a dsRNA as an endogenous adjuvant.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), which are normally silenced by methylation or mutation, can be reactivated by a variety of environmental factors, including infection with exogenous viruses. In this work, we investigated the transcriptional activity of HERVs following infection of human liver cells (HepaRG) with human adenovirus C serotype 5 (HAdV-C5). HAdV-C5 infection results in reactivation of several HERV groups as well as differentially expressed genes.

Background: Neoantigens are promising immunogens for cancer vaccines and are often delivered as adjuvanted peptide vaccines. Adenoviral (Ad) vectors have been shown to induce strong CD8 T cell responses as vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and Zika, but their utility as neoantigen delivery vectors remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examine how an Ad-vectored neoantigen vaccine would impact tumor immunity compared with a peptide neoantigen vaccine.
