A vector which comprises an adenovirus capsid where the capsid comprises a simian adenoviral Pan-6 hexon protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7, or a sequence having at least 95-99% identity with SEQ ID NO:7 or a functional fragment thereof. The vector further comprises a heterologous gene operatively linked to sequences which direct expression of the gene in a host cell.
