The seroprevalence of adenoviruses since 20001

Human adenoviruses (Ad) are increasingly used as vaccine vectors, especially after Ad5, Ad26, and ChAdY25 (ChAdOx1) were employed as vectors for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. So far, more than 116 adenovirus genotypes have been identified, divided into 7 species (A-G). Most adenoviruses do not cause diseases...

description Human adenoviruses (Ad) are increasingly used as vaccine vectors, especially after Ad5, Ad26, and ChAdY25 (ChAdOx1) were employed as vectors for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. So far, more than 116 adenovirus genotypes have been identified, divided into 7 species (A-G). Most adenoviruses do not cause diseases or are mildly pathogenic, with only species B and E leading to acute respiratory infections or conjunctival inflammation and species F causing gastrointestinal infections. Previous studies have shown that the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies against adenoviruses can be limiting when applying adenoviral vectors. On the other hand, for highly pathogenic adenoviruses, neutralizing antibodies is beneficial for preventing the diseases caused by these adenoviruses. Here, we summarized the studies on the seroprevalence of adenoviruses, especially adenoviruses that may be utilized as vectors for vaccine and gene therapy. We also analysed possible factors associated with the seroprevalence and neutralizing titres. Given the trend of increasing adenoviral vector application, it is necessary to continue the investigation of the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies against adenoviruses in different geographic locations and populations.
