Host Response |
Hamster Response
- Vaccination Protocol: For protection studies, inbred golden hamsters (Janvier, Le Fenest St. Isles, France) were vaccinated twice (1 month apart) with 107 PFU of vaccinia virus recombinants expressing either the G or F Nipah virus glycoprotein or with 5 × 106 of each of the recombinants when they were used for coimmunization (Guillaume et al., 2004).
- Challenge Protocol: The animals were challenged 3 months after the last immunization with Nipah virus administered interperitoneally (Guillaume et al., 2004).
- Efficacy: Hamsters immunized with F and G proteins were completely protected from lethal Nipah virus challenge (Guillaume et al., 2004).
