Abstract excerpt
A murine experimental model system aimed at developing potential vaccines to papovavirus infection in immunosuppressed individuals was explored. A VP1-pseudocapsid based on the major capsid protein of the murine polyomavirus A2 strain and a mutant, M17-pseudocapsid as well as four temperature sensitive (ts)-mutants were used as immunogens. T-cells deficient CD4-/-8-/- mice were immunized four times with each...
