| Abstract | Background Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) frequently cause common respiratory or gastrointestinal infections among children, adults, individuals with immune deficiencies, and other vulnerable populations with varying degree of symptoms, ranging from mild to server, and in some cases, even fatalities. Despite the significant clinical impact of HAdVs, there is currently no approved vaccine available. Methods This study explores the potential of the adenovirus type 5 fiber knob (Ad5-FK) to stimulate the production of Ad-specific neutralizing antibodies and T-cell responses in mice. Based on structure predictions, we first expressed Ad5-FK in E. coli and confirmed the assembly of FK into its trimeric form. After testing the binding capability of the trimeric FK to susceptible cells, the immunogenicity of the protein in combination with the c-di-AMP adjuvant was assessed in BALB/c mice. Results The purified Ad5-FK exhibited self-trimerization and maintained correct conformation akin to the authentic FK structure. This facilitated effective binding to susceptible HEK293 cells. Notably, the protein demonstrated significant inhibition of HEK293 cells infection by rAd5-GFP. Immunization of BALB/c mice with Ad5-FK, or Ad5-FK mixed with c-di-AMP yielded FK-specific antibodies with potent neutralization capacity. Significantly, Ad5-FK was found to elicit a vigorous CD4+ T-cell response in the immunized mice. Conclusion Our findings underscore the efficacy of FK-based vaccine in eliciting anti-Ad humoral immune response and CD4 T-cell immune reactions essential for protection against viral infections. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
