Adenovirus vector-based vaccines were deployed widely during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we explored the potential of displaying an antigen on the surface of the adenovirus capsid as well as encoding an antigen as a transgene in the adenovirus vector to optimize both humoral and cellular immune responses. We show that displaying SARS-CoV-2 Spike receptor biding domain (RBD) on the Ad5 capsid while simultaneously encoding Spike as a transgene induced robust antibody and T cell responses in rhesus macaques. These data demonstrate that adenoviruses can be utilized simultaneously as both nanoparticle scaffolds and viral vectors.
