Summary
Modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus is a highly attenuated, replication defective strain of vaccinia virus with attributes of an optimal viral delivery system, including large capacity for foreign DNA, proven clinical safety, and ability to induce potent and long-lasting humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, which can be further complemented in heterologous prime-boost regimens. Efficacy of recombinant MVA (rMVA) -based vaccines has been demonstrated in numerous preclinical and clinical studies against a range of targets, including HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and an array of tumor-associated antigens. Recombinant MVA-based products can be rapidly constructed and are relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and the path to regulatory approval is well established. Provided novel rMVA are optimized at the preclinical stage to ensure efficacy, stability, a smooth regulatory path, and effective intellectual property strategy, they can be rapidly developed for clinical applications.
