Abstract

Background: Engineered adenoviruses are being increasingly explored as immunoprophylactic or immunotherapeutic vaccine vectors. Encouraging data from preclinical studies using human adenovirus vectors carrying different antigen genes have resulted in many currently ongoing clinical trials. Objective: The article seeks to review the current status of the use of adenoviruses as vaccine vectors. Methods: This review is based on the patent literature since 2000 pertaining to the development of adenovirus vaccine vectors for infectious and non-infectious diseases. Conclusion: Human adenovirus-vectored vaccines have important limitations that stem from their immunogenicity and restrict their utility. This has spurred intensive efforts to find alternative adenovirus vectors and strategies, each with its own advantages and shortcomings.
