Study on the immunogenicity of adeno-vector vaccine against H5N1 influenza A virus / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct adenovirus vector vaccine against H5N1 influenza virus and study on the immunogenicity.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In this study, we amplified hemagglutinin (HA) gene sequence of H5N1 influenza virus (A/Anhui/1/2005), then constructed an adenovirus vector vaccine (Adv-HA), followed by tests in BALB/c mice for the immunogenicity with the vaccine and immunization strategies.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The recombinate Adv-HA vaccine could effectively induce both humoral and cellular immunity against human H5N1 influenza virus.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The Adv-HA vaccination against H5N1 influenza is a potential strategy and worthy of further investigation.</p>
