A replication-incompetent adenoviral vector encoding for HSV-2 gD2 is immunogenic and protective against HSV-2 intravaginal challenge in mice. by Elisa Rossetti, Marija Vujadinovic, Ella van Huizen, Jeroen Tolboom, Hanneke Schuitemaker, Feng Yao, Roland Zahn, Eirikur Saeland

“…A combination of Ad35.HSV.gD2 with Ad35 encoding for gB2 (Ad35.HSV.gB2) resulted in increased VNT and lower infection, compared with Ad35.HSV.gD2 alone. Transfer of immune serum into naïve BALB/c mice before intravaginal challenge confirmed the role of antibodies in the protection of mice against infection although other immune factors may play a role as well.…”
