Types 4 and 7 adenovirus are currently used as live, oral vaccines for the prevention of adenovirus respiratory disease in military recruits. These vaccine strains have been genetically engineered in order to express HIV-1 or HBV antigens in infected cells. A dog model was developed to evaluate the immunogenicity of these recombinant vaccines. Dogs inoculated with live adenovirus-HBV recombinant vaccine produced antibody against hepatitis B surface antigen.
