Sheep Response

• Vaccination Protocol: Sheep were injected twice with an MYXV expressing the immunodominant VP2 protein (SG33-VP2) (Top et al., 2012).
• Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000287
• Immune Response: The SG33-VP2 vector promoted the production of neutralising antibodies (Maclachlan et al., 2009).
• Efficacy: The SG33-VP2 vector expressing VP2 partially protected sheep against disease after challenge with a highly virulent strain of serotype-8 bluetongue virus (BTV-8) (Top et al., 2012).
