A CCHFV DNA vaccine protects against heterologous challenge and establishes GP38 as immunorelevant in mice

Abstract Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a tick-borne virus that causes severe hemorrhagic fever disease in humans. Currently, no licensed CCHF vaccines exist, and the protective epitopes remain unclear. Previously, we tested a DNA vaccine expressing the M-segment glycoprotein precu...

CCHFV-M10200 provided >60% protection against homologous CCHFV-IbAr 10200 challenge in mice.

We also report complete protection from CCHFV-Afg09-2990 challenge following vaccination with a CCHFV-Afg09-2990 M-segment DNA vaccine (CCHFV-MAfg09).
