  • Title: Successful oral rabies vaccination of raccoons with raccoon poxvirus recombinants expressing rabies virus glycoprotein.
    Author: Esposito JJ, Knight JC, Shaddock JH, Novembre FJ, Baer GM.
    Journal: Virology; 1988 Jul; 165(1):313-6. PubMed ID: 3291388.
    Abstract:
    Two infectious raccoon poxvirus (RCN) recombinants for expressing rabies virus surface spike glycoprotein (G) were produced by homologous recombination between raccoon poxvirus DNA and chimeric plasmids previously used for production of vaccinia virus recombinants. Expression of G protein was controlled by vaccinia virus promoter P7.5 (early/late class) or by P11 (late class). Immunoprecipitation of infected cell extracts indicated that both of the RCN recombinants directed faithful expression of G protein. Raccoons that were fed polyurethane baits loaded with either recombinant quickly developed high levels of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies and were protected when challenged with lethal raccoon rabies street virus.
