To assess the immunogenicity of hAd5:tgG-RL white-tail deer (n D 5/group) were orally immunized and epitope-specific antibody titers in serum and feces were quantified with a peptide ELISA. These results confirm that oral delivery of a recombinant viral vector, expressing an appropriate DSE and carrier molecule, is capable of inducing both systemic and mucosal antibody responses in white-tailed deer. To determine if the antibodies induced by oral immunization retained the same PrP Sc specificity as previously characterized for the parenteral vaccine, serum from hAd5:tgG-RL vaccinated animals was assayed for PrP C reactivity by ELISA, using recombinant cervid PrP 90-231 for antibody capture. ./cache/cord-002710-e8im13go.txt ./txt/cord-002710-e8im13go.txt
