Protective effect of PRV-HNX TK−/gE− in mice.
(a) Two group of mice were subcutaneously injected with PRV HNX or PRV-HNX TK−/gE− and were monitored for survival rate for two weeks. Mice were vaccinated PRV-HNX TK−/gE− or DMEM and then challenged with PRV HNX (b), PRV Ea (c) and PRV-Becker-GFP (d) two weeks later. Survival rate were monitored for two weeks. (e) Fluorescence imaging of the brain stem section of the mice vaccinated PRV-HNX TK−/gE− or DMEM respectively and then challenged with PRV-Becker-GFP (five mice per group).
