  • Title: Lack of cross-protection between vaccinia virus and orf virus in hysterectomy-procured, barrier-maintained lambs.
    Author: Mercer AA, Yirrell DL, Reid HW, Robinson AJ.
    Journal: Vet Microbiol; 1994 Aug 15; 41(4):373-82. PubMed ID: 7801537.
    Abstract:
    Hysterectomy-procured, barrier maintained lambs were immunised with either of virus or vaccinia virus and subsequently challenged with both viruses. Under these conditions lambs were protected from challenge with the homologous virus but no cross-protection was observed. The feeding of colostrum that contained antibodies to orf virus had no effect on the duration of viral lesions. Immunoblotting analysis and ELISA of serum samples taken during the course of the experiment indicated that the animals mounted antibody responses to both viruses. The cross recognition of 3 vaccinia virus antigens by the hyperimmune anti-orf virus serum was revealed by immunoblotting.
