Several studies indicate that the transgene expression level can be increased from adenoviral vectors by the presence or insertion of an intron sequences [156] [157] [158] . Therefore, we constructed the new recombinant adenoviruses serotype 5 and 35 encoding WHV core protein and containing an intron between promoter and WHcAg gene sequences. Preliminary experiments showed that vaccination with the AdVs containing the intron sequences led to induction of robust cellular and humoral immune responses in mice. Moreover, immunization of the mice in DNA prime-AdV boost manner, using improved vectors, resulted in more vigorous and multispecific T cell responses in comparison to immunization with plasmid DNA alone [Kosinska et al., unpublished results].
