Recombinant Measles Virus Vaccine Expressing the Nipah Virus Glycoprotein Protects against Lethal Nipah Virus Challenge
Figure 1
Recombinant measles virus expressing NiV G protein.
Two strains of rMV expressing the NiV G protein were generated; rMV-HL-G and rMV-Ed-G. (A) rMV-HL-G-infected B95a cells and rMV-Ed-G-infected Vero cells were stained with anti-NiV G polyclonal antibody and analyzed by phase contrast microscopy and immunofluorescence. Cells infected with empty vectors served as controls. (B) B95a cells were infected with rMV-HL or rMV-HL-G. Vero cells were infected with rMV-Ed or rMV-Ed-G. Infections were conducted at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 TCID50/cell. Cells and supernatants were collected at the indicated time points for determination of virus titer. Error bars indicate means ± the standard deviation (SD) from three experiments.
