Abstract | Here we report the development of a thermally stable, orally administered, candidate Zika vaccine using human serotype 5 adenovirus (AdHu5). We engineered AdHu5 to express the genes for the envelope and NS1 proteins of Zika virus. AdHu5 was formulated using a proprietary platform, OraPro, comprising a mix of sugars and modified amino acids that can overcome elevated temperatures (37 C), and an enteric coated capsule that protects the integrity of the AdHu5 from the acid in the stomach. This enables the delivery AdHu5 to the immune system of the small intestine. We show that oral delivery of AdHu5 elicited antigen-specific serum IgG immune responses in a mouse model and in a non-human primate model. Importantly, these immune responses were able reduce viral counts in mice and to prevent detectable viraemia in the non-human primates on challenge with live Zika virus. This candidate vaccine has significant advantages over many current vaccines that are maintained in a cold or ultra-cold chain and require parenteral administration. |
