Adenovirus cancer vaccines are therapy that uses adenovirus as a vector to deliver specific tumor antigens to activate the body's immune system to attack cancer cells. Alfa Cytology is committed to providing a comprehensive one-stop adenovirus cancer vaccines development service tailored to our clients' requirements against prostate cancer.
Adenoviruses (Ads) are a widely studied class of viral vectors that are ideal for use as vaccine vectors in different forms for cancer therapy. These viral vectors stimulate the immune system and help reprogram the microenvironment of "cold tumors" such as prostate cancer into "hot tumors" by triggering a T-cell mediated response against the cancer cells. Cold tumors" are those that do not elicit a strong immune response in the microenvironment, which makes it difficult for immunotherapy to work effectively.

Adenoviral vaccines enhance immune cell accessibility in the tumor microenvironment through multiple mechanisms. They increase the infiltration of immune cells into the tumor, allowing cytokines and T cells to be delivered more efficiently to the tumor site. This enhanced immune response helps to overcome the immunosuppressive properties of prostate cancer, thereby improving the efficacy of immunotherapy.
Stable and Easy to Manipulate Genome
Adenoviruses have a relatively stable genome, which is well understood by scientists and allows for precise gene manipulation and cloning, which facilitates the construction of viral vectors.
High In Vivo Transduction Efficiency
Adenoviruses have high in vivo transduction efficiency in humans, enabling efficient gene delivery to target cells, which is particularly important for gene therapy and vaccine development.
Mild Side Effects
Adenoviral vectors have relatively mild side effects compared to conventional therapeutic approaches. In particular, because adenoviral vectors do not integrate into the host genome, the risk of insertional mutagenesis is reduced.
