dependent mechanism, and thereby protect from lethal infection. Given this, we reasoned
MAIT cells may have a critical role in the immunogenicity of replication-incompetent
adenovirus vectors, which are novel and highly potent vaccine platforms. In vitro, ChAdOx1
(Chimpanzee Adenovirus Ox1) induced potent activation of MAIT cells. Activation required
transduction of monocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells to produce IL-18 and IFN-α …
