April 22nd, 2009
"Rabies is to this date one of the most important death causing zoonotic viral diseases, with 98% of deaths reported in developing countries, where access to modern vaccines and tools for efficient diagnostic remain Unaffordable. in this paper, we describe a newly engineered RNA-based rabies virus glycoprotein (RVGP) expression vector based on the Semliki Forest Virus (SFV) system," scientists writing in the Journal of Biotechnology report. "A recombinant SFV carrying an RNA coding for RVGP (SFV-RVGP) was constructed and the RVGP expression was evaluated in animal cell cultures. The mRNA coding for RVGP and the RVGP itself were assessed by qPCR, Western-blotting,...
