Mouse Response
- Vaccination Protocol: Mice were immunized with varying doses of MVSchw-sEWN (Brandler and Tangy, 2013).
- Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
- Challenge Protocol: Mice were challenged with doses ranging from 100 to 100,000 focus-forming units of IS98-ST1 WNV (Brandler and Tangy, 2013).
- Efficacy: A single administration of a recombinant MV vaccine expressing the secreted form of WNV envelope glycoprotein elicited protective immunity in mice as early as two weeks after immunization (Brandler and Tangy, 2013).

Mouse Response
- Persistence: A C protein mutant is attenuated in mice (Schlick et al., 2010).
- Efficacy: A C protein mutant protects mice from challenge with wild type West Nile virus (Schlick et al., 2010).
- Host IgG response
- Description: WNV specific IgG titers were also determined 4 weeks post-challenge. Titers had generally increased to values of 10^4–10^5, with the more pronounced increases observed in mice that had been immunized with lower doses of vaccine strains. All animals inoculated with any of the virus mutants seroconverted, whereas serum samples of animals that had received medium alone showed no WNV specific antibody response. A statistically significant increase in IgG over control mice was observed (Schlick et al., 2010).

Mouse Response
- Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
- Immune Response: Recombinant plasmid-transformed COS-1 cells expressed and secreted high levels of WN virus prM and E proteins into the culture medium (Davis et al., 2001).
- Efficacy: The lowest dose tested (0.1 μg of DNA per animal) is sufficient to induce complete protective immunity by our vaccine in mice. It was evident that the presence of WN virus antibody correlated with protective immunity, since all mice immunized with WN virus DNA remained healthy after virus challenge. All control mice developed symptoms of central nervous system infection 4 to 6 days later and died an average of 6.9 and 7.4 days after i.p. or infected-mosquito challenge, respectively (Davis et al., 2001).
