First generation adenoviral vectors and associated recombinant adenovirus-based HIV vaccines which show enhanced stability and growth properties and greater cellular-mediated immunity are described within this specification. These adenoviral vectors are utilized to generate and produce through cell culture various adenoviral-based HIV-1 vaccines which contain HIV-1 gag, HIV-1 pol and / or HIV-1 nef polynucleotide pharmaceutical products, and biologically relevant modifications thereof. These adenovirus vaccines, when directly introduced into living vertebrate tissue, preferably a mammalian host such as a human or a non-human mammal of commercial or domestic veterinary importance, express the HIV1-Gag, Pol and / or Nef protein or biologically modification thereof, inducing a cellular immune response which specifically recognizes HIV-1. The exemplified polynucleotides of the present invention are synthetic DNA molecules encoding HIV-1 Gag, encoding codon optimized HIV-1 Pol, derivatives of optimized HIV-1 Pol (including constructs wherein protease, reverse transcriptase, RNAse H and integrase activity of HIV-1 Pol is inactivated), HIV-1 Nef and derivatives of optimized HIV-1 Nef, including nef mutants which effect wild type characteristics of Nef, such as myristylation and down regulation of host CD4. The adenoviral vaccines of the present invention, when administered alone or in a combined modality regime, will offer a prophylactic advantage to previously uninfected individuals and / or provide a therapeutic effect by reducing viral load levels within an infected individual, thus prolonging the asymptomatic phase of HIV-1 infection.

The invention discloses a preparation method of a porcine epidemic diarrhea recombinant adenovirus vaccine. The preparation method provided by the invention comprises the following steps of inserting a DNA sequence of a zone S1 of a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) into an adenovirus shuttle plasmid pShuttle-CMV to obtain pShuttle-CMV-S1, carrying out linearization of the pShuttle-CMV-S1, transforming the linear pShuttle-CMV-S1 into a BJ5183 competent cell containing pAdEasy-1, carrying out homologous recombination, carrying out enzyme digestion, carrying out AD-293 cell transfection, carrying out packaging to obtain a recombinant adenovirus rAd-S1, and carrying out purification, amplification and sub-packaging. After oral immunization, the porcine epidemic diarrhea recombinant adenovirus vaccine can induce generation of mucosal immunity thereby preventing porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) well.

The invention belongs to the field of gene therapy and aims at providing a novel targeted gene vaccine for treating HBV (Hepatitis B Virus)-relevant liver cancer and application of the novel targeted gene vaccine in preparation of a targeted gene immunotherapeutic drug for the HBV-relevant liver cancer. The main active component of the liver caner-resistant vaccine disclosed by the invention is a recombinant vector of a gene coded with an HBx protein and a gene for coding a human IL-12 protein; and the recombinant vector can be used for simultaneously expressing the HBx protein and the human IL-12 protein in a eukaryotic cell. Provided by the experiment, a recombinant adenovirus vaccine disclosed by the invention can be used for selectively killing HBx-electropositive liver cancer cell and expresses a favorable liver cancer-resisting effect. The recombinant adenovirus vaccine provides a new selection for targeted gene immunization therapy of the HBV-relevant liver cancer and has a favorable application prospect.
