Protective immunogenicity of the G protein of hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) in flounder using DNA vaccine

  • Published : 2003.05.01

Abstract

Antiviral DNA vaccine carrying a gene for a major antigenic viral protein have received considerable attention as a new approach in vaccine development. For fish viruses effects of DNA vaccine encoding viral G gene of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV) and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV)have been demonst.ated previously(Lapatra et al., 2001) Hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) causes hemorragic disease on flounder.
