General information

ChAd-SARS-CoV-2-S is an experimental vaccine based on chimpanzee adenovirus-36 vector (replication-incompetent) carrying a codon optimized sequence of SARS-CoV-2 S protein as an immunogen (Hassan et al., 2020).

A Single-Dose Intranasal ChAd Vaccine Protects Upper and Lower Respiratory Tracts against SARS-CoV-2
Viral vector Animal model In vitro Mixed substance

Upon intranasal administration, the vaccine induced anti-SARS-CoV-2 S/RBD protein IgA ang IgG neutralizing antibodies, T cell response and almost completely protected mice expressing human ACE2 receptor from SARS-CoV-2 infection. No chemokine/cytokine mRNA in lung homogenates was detected in the vaccinated mice. Intramuscular administration was not as efficient.

Rhesus macaques; SARS-CoV-2 strain 2019 n-CoV/USA_WA1/2020

A single-dose vaccination induced (as assessed after 1 month) anti-Spike (IgG/IgA) antibodies, anti-RBD (IgG) antibodies, neutralizing antibodies, and T cell responses in rhesus macaques, which correlated with protection of the animals in a nasal/bronchial SARS-CoV-2 challenge. A significant reduction in lung viral loads and lung pathology compared to control was observed.
