ISG15 as a Potent Immune Adjuvant in MVA-Based Vaccines Against Zika Virus and SARS-CoV-2

[Background] Vaccines represent one of the most affordable and efficient tools for controlling infectious diseases; however, the development of efficacious vaccines against complex pathogens remains a major challenge. Adjuvants play a relevant role in enhancing vaccine-induced immune responses. One...

Sumario:[Background] Vaccines represent one of the most affordable and efficient tools for controlling infectious diseases; however, the development of efficacious vaccines against complex pathogens remains a major challenge. Adjuvants play a relevant role in enhancing vaccine-induced immune responses. One such molecule is interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a key modulator of antiviral immunity that acts both through ISGylation-dependent mechanisms and as a cytokine-like molecule.
