Ankara (MVA) and ALVAC(2) Vaccine |
| Vaccine Information |
- Vaccine Name: Ankara (MVA) and ALVAC(2) Vaccine
- Target Pathogen: Cancer
- Target Disease: Cancer
- Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0007255
- Type: Recombinant vector vaccine
- Status: Research
- Antigen: 5T4 and gp100
- Preparation: Recombinant MVA-gp100M and ALVAC(2)-5T4 were constructed to complement existing ALVAC(2)-gp100M and MVA-5T4 vectors. Recombinant TAA expression in chicken embryo fibroblast cells was confirmed by Western blot analysis. 5T4 expression was approximately equal for both viruses, whereas ALVAC-derived gp100 was quickly degraded, at a time point when MVA-derived gp100 was still stable and expressed at high levels (Hanwell et al., 2013).
- Immunization Route: subcutaneous and intradermal
- Description: This vaccine was used in clinical trials involving melanoma

|
Human Response
- Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
- Immune Response: Equivalent levels of 5T4 were detected, whereas gp100M appeared to be expressed at higher levels and was more stable when vectored by MVA as opposed to ALVAC (Hanwell et al., 2013).
