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 safe and immunogenic while avoiding integration into host DNA. It is typically administered as part of a heterologous prime-boost regimen with other Ebola vaccine candidates to enhance protective immunity.
