  • Patent number: 8361478
    Abstract: Described are vaccines against malarial infections, which are based on recombinant viral vectors, such as alpha viruses, adenoviruses, or vaccinia viruses. The recombinant viral-based vaccines can be used to immunize against different Plasmodium infections, such as infections by P. falciparum or P. yoelii. Codon-optimized circumsporozoite genes are disclosed. Replication-defective adenoviruses may be used, derived from serotypes that encounter low titers of neutralizing antibodies. Also described is the use of different adenoviral serotypes that are administered to elicit a strong immune response, either in single vaccination set-ups or in prime-boost set-ups in which compositions based on different serotypes can be applied.

  • Patent number: 7604960
    Abstract: Described is a method for producing a protein of interest, the method comprising: a) providing a recombinant adenoviral vector comprising nucleic acid encoding the protein of interest under control of a promoter, wherein the adenoviral vector has deletions in a first region and in a second region of the adenovirus genome, wherein each of the first region and the second region is required for adenoviral genome replication and/or adenovirus particle formation, b) propagating the adenoviral vector in a first type of complementing cells that express proteins from the first and from the second region of the adenovirus genome so as to complement the deletions of the recombinant adenoviral vector, to obtain recombinant adenovirus particles, c) infecting a culture of a second type of complementing cells with the recombinant adenovirus particles, wherein the second type of complementing cells express protein from the first region of the adenovirus genome but not protein from the second region of the adenovirus genome,
