Preclinical Viral Vector Vaccine Development

Viral vector vaccines are a type of vaccine that uses a harmless virus to deliver a gene from a disease-causing virus or bacteria into human cells. This gene instructs the cells to produce a protein that will trigger an immune response against the disease-causing virus or bacteria. Viral vector vaccines are safe, effective, and induce long-lasting immunity. Many viral vectors are being tested against a vast array of viruses. In addition, many viral vector platforms are currently used in gene and cell therapy. Viral vectors offer great versatility and can be custom tailored. Approved viral vector vaccines include the Ebola vaccine and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
