Efficacy of DNA immunization with F and G protein genes of Nipah virus

Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2006 Oct:1081:243-5. doi: 10.1196/annals.1373.029.

Abstract

We investigated the antibody response of DNA immunization with two mammalian codon optimized envelope glycoprotein genes, F and G, of Nipah virus in a mouse model. The results indicated that G gene immunization elicited more significant specific serum IgG response and neutralization antibody response than F gene did, suggesting that the G gene DNA immunization is a potential vaccine strategy against Nipah virus.
