Mechanism of action
This vaccine uses a non-replicating adenoviral vector to deliver genetic instructions for producing Ebola virus surface glycoprotein, triggering both cellular and humoral immune responses. The Ad26 vector is designed to be immunogenic while unable to replicate in human cells, making it a safe priming agent in heterologous prime-boost vaccination regimens against Ebola virus disease.
