Immunization with recombinant woodchuck hepatitis virus nucleocapsid antigen or hepatitis B virus nucleocapsid antigen protects woodchucks from woodchuck hepatitis virus infection

Woodchucks were immunized with recombinant woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) nucleocapsid antigen (WHcAg) or hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleocapsid antigen (HBcAg) and challenged with 10 6 WHV ID 50. Six out of six woodchucks immunized with WHcAg and four out of six immunized with HBcAg were protected f...

Zusammenfassung:Woodchucks were immunized with recombinant woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) nucleocapsid antigen (WHcAg) or hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleocapsid antigen (HBcAg) and challenged with 10 6 WHV ID 50. Six out of six woodchucks immunized with WHcAg and four out of six immunized with HBcAg were protected from WHV infection. Woodchucks immunized with WHcAg or HBcAg developed high serum antibody titres against WHcAg or HBcAg. Antibodies against WHc and HBc displayed little cross-reactivity (
