The invention provides a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine using human type-5 replication-defective adenovirus as a vector. The vaccine uses E1 and E3 to be combined with replication-defective human type-5 adenovirus as the vector and HEK293 cells integrating adenovirus E1 gene as a packaging cell line, and a protective antigen gene carried is the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 S protein gene (Ad5-nCoV) which is subjected to optimization design. After the S protein gene is optimized, the expression level in transfected cells is increased significantly. The vaccine has good immunogenicity in mouse and guinea pig models, andcan induce a body to produce a strong cellular and humoral immune response in a short time. Studies on the protective effect of hACE2 transgenic mice show that after 14 days of single immunization ofAd5-nCoV, the viral load in lung tissue can be significantly reduced, and it is indicated that the vaccine has a good immunoprotective effect on the 2019 SARS-CoV-2. In addition, the vaccine is quick, simple and convenient to prepare, and can be mass-produced in a short period of time to respond to sudden outbreaks.
