Abstract:
This invention provides vaccines for inducing an immune response and protection against filovirus infection for use as a preventative vaccine in humans. In particular, the invention provides chimpanzee adenoviral vectors expressing filovirus proteins from different strains of Ebolavirus (EBOV) or Marburg virus (MARV).
Abstract:
A simian adenoviral vector comprising two expression cassettes, wherein each expression cassette comprises a transgene and a promoter, and wherein the first expression cassette is inserted in the E1 region of the simian adenoviral vector, and the second expression cassette is inserted in a region of the adenoviral vector that is compatible with vector replication.
