The optimized recombinant adenoviral vaccine vectors encoding spike can generate robust antigen-specific cellular immunity in mice and may potentially be useful for control of SARS-CoV infection. Therefore, several versions of replication-defective adenoviral vectors expressing spike protein were created to induce spike-specific T cell responses in mice and to screen for CD8 T-cell epitopes using an overlapping peptide library spanning the entire spike protein in IFN-g ELISPOT and intracellular IFN-g staining assays. More importantly, a single administration of the optimized SARS-CoV spike vaccine vectors based on replication-defective human and simian adenovirus can generate strong spikespecific CD8 T-cell responses in mice.
