Table 4 Seroconversion after vaccination of pigs with VSV*ΔG(N), VSV*ΔG(GP3ecto-Myc), VSV*ΔG(GP4-HA) and VSV*ΔG expressing IAV proteins.

From: Virus replicon particles expressing porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus proteins elicit immune priming but do not confer protection from viremia in pigs

  1. n.d.: not done; n.a.: not applicable.
  2. aAntibodies against GP3 and GP4 were also analysed at day 56. The results were 0/2.
  3. bS/P ratio = (sample mean [mean of optical absorbance] − negative control mean)/(positive control mean − negative control mean). IDEXX X3 kit S/P ratios of >0.4 are considered positive. The S/P ratios represent the mean of 2 pigs, with the absolute values indicated under “range”.
