Of particular interest is a study in which VSV expressing the H5 antigen from highly pathogenic avian influenza induced sterilizing immunity against heterologous challenge in mice [4] . This demonstrates the safety and efficacy potential of VSV when live virus vaccination would otherwise be contraindicated. Even more promising, recombinant VSV expressing a secreted form of a virulence factor protein for Yersinia pestis, LcrV, induced high levels of LcrV-specific antibodies, protecting 90% of the mice challenged with 10 LD 50 [6] . Vesicular stomatitis virus-based Ebola vaccine is well-tolerated and protects immunocompromised nonhuman primates Potent vesicular stomatitis virus-based avian influenza vaccines provide long-term sterilizing immunity against heterologous challenge Heterologous boosting of recombinant adenoviral prime immunization with a novel vesicular stomatitis virus-vectored tuberculosis vaccine SARS vaccine based on a replicationdefective recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus is more potent than one based on a replication-competent vector ./cache/cord-339854-scb7pz87.txt ./txt/cord-339854-scb7pz87.txt
