Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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 Ebola virus (EBOV) or Marburg virus (MARV).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of inducing a protective immune response against an Ebola virus infection in a subject, the method comprising intramuscularly administering to the subject 10 10 to 10 12 viral particles of a recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus type 3 (ChAd3) vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an Ebola virus glycoprotein, followed by administering to the subject a prophylactically effective amount of a modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding the Ebola virus glycoprotein. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Ebola virus is of species Zaire. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the Ebola virus glycoprotein is encoded by a polynucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:10 (Z GP wild-type). 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Ebola virus is of species Sudan/Gulu. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the Ebola virus glycoprotein is encoded by a polynucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 11 or 13 (S/G GP codon-optimized or wild-type).
