title: Tick-borne encephalitis virus NS3 gene expression does not protect mice from homologous viral challenge.
abstract: Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) NS3 gene has been subcloned into the expression vector pcDNAI and expressed in eukaryotic cells. Immunization of mice with the recombinant plasmid pcDNAI-NS3 induced antibodies against NS3 protein but did not protect from viral challenge.
