Investigation of particulate Bluetongue virus vaccines made in plants by Gwynn, Abigail

“…Finally, since there was insufficient coupled protein product for immunisation doses, only the immunogenicity of the plant produced chimeric BTV1/8 VLPs compared with the BTV8 VLPs were tested. Five guinea pigs per vaccine group (BTV8 VLPs and chimeric BTV1/8 VLPs) were immunised with 15ug of the appropriate vaccine and boosted 13 days later. …”
