In vivo efficacy testing of BoHV-4-A-CMV-A29LgD 106 ΔTK, BoHV-4-A-EF1α-M1RgD 106 ΔTK and BoHV-4-A-EF1α-B6RgD 106 ΔTK To test the efficacy of the vectors in vivo, we sought to determine if they could protect mice against a lethal challenge with MPXV. Since the purpose of this study was to determine the capability of BoHV-4-based viral vectors to protect STAT1 (-/-) mice against a lethal MPXV infection, the first concern was the generation of optimized expression cassettes to be integrated into the BAC-BoHV-4-A genome that were able to efficiently express A29L, M1R and B6R antigens. In summary, our findings have demonstrated that BoHV-4 based vectors can be used as vaccines to protect against a lethal MPXV challenge in mice. ./cache/cord-001690-cn21fgug.txt ./txt/cord-001690-cn21fgug.txt
