Adenoviral vectors

Adenoviral vectors are tools used in gene therapy and vaccine development that deliver genetic material into human cells. Made from modified adenoviruses (common cold viruses), they are engineered to carry specific genes without causing illness. Once inside the body, they infect cells and introduce the genetic instructions, which can help produce an immune response or correct faulty genes. Adenoviral vectors are valued for their ability to infect many cell types quickly and produce a strong immune response, making them effective for vaccines and gene therapy applications.
