A viral vector vaccine is a vaccine that uses a viral vector to deliver genetic material that can be transcribed by the recipient's host cells as mRNA coding for a desired protein, or antigen, to elicit an immune response. [1]

2022年12月22日 · Viral vector vaccines use a modified version of a different virus as a vector to deliver protection. Several different viruses have been used as vectors, including influenza, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), measles virus, and adenovirus, which causes the common cold.

Viral vector vaccines use a harmless virus to deliver to the hosts cells the genetic code of the antigen you want the immune system to fight. “They are basically a gene delivery system,” says Dr. Scully.

2020年12月29日 · Viral vector-based vaccines use a harmless virus to smuggle the instructions for making antigens from the disease-causing virus into cells, triggering protective immunity against it.

This different virus is called a viral vector. The viral vector gives cells instructions to make copies of the COVID-19 virus S protein. Once the cells display the S proteins on their surfaces, the immune system responds by creating antibodies and defensive white blood cells.

Viral vector vaccines utilise the capacity of viruses to infect cells and induce broad immune responses. Heterologous antigens are expressed by the virus, usually from genes engineered into the viral genome, and induce antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses.

2023年4月7日 · Viral vector vaccines consist of viral particles whose genomes have been modified to contain one or more foreign genes encoding the targeted antigens. The rationale for...

For viral vector vaccines, viral vectors are genetically engineered to introduce target genes encoding key antigens of pathogens. Currently, widely used viral vectors include adenovirus, measles virus, influenza viruses and poxvirus [2].

Several COVID-19 vaccine candidates entering late-stage clinical trials are what is known as viral vector vaccines. These vaccines are likely to be among the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States.

What is a viral vector? Which COVID-19 vaccines use a “viral vector” approach? The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine uses a viral vector, which is when another, harmless virus is used as a vehicle to carry genetic information about the virus that causes COVID-19 to your body’s cells. Will a COVID-19 viral vector vaccine give me COVID-19? No.
