Masked
Vector Rides Past Immune Defense
Using adenovirus as a vector to deliver foreign genes has become one of the most
promising strategies in vaccine development. But many people already have immunity
to the common serotype of adenovirus used in current vaccines, which might prevent
the vector from delivering its cargo. Diane Roberts, Dan Barouch, and their colleagues
circumvented this problem by swapping small portions of the vector’s outer
shell with those of a much rarer serotype. Since this chimeric vector looks like
a new virus to the immune system, it is unable to mount a targeted response.
