title: Immunogenic and protective properties of haemagglutinin protein (H) of rinderpest virus expressed by a recombinant baculovirus.
abstract: The hemagglutinin (H) protein of Rinderpest virus expressed by a recombinant baculovirus used as a vaccine produced high titres of neutralizing antibody to Rinderpest virus in the vaccinated cattle, comparable to the levels produced by live attenuated vaccine. The immunized cattle were protected against a vaccine-virus challenge, as demonstrated by the failure of development of antibodies to N protein of the vaccine virus. The lack of replication of vaccine virus in the immunized cattle indicated that they are capable of showing a protective response if challenged with a virulent virus.
