Homologous boosting with adenoviral serotype 5 HIV vaccine (rAd5) vector can boost antibody responses despite preexisting vector-specific immunity in a randomized phase I clinical trial.

Needle-free delivery improves the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines but is also associated with more local reactogenicity.
