Guinea pigs immunized with a single dose of this vector were protected from any signs of disease following lethal EBOV challenge, while control animals died in 7-9 days. Guinea pigs immunized with a single dose of this vector were protected from any signs of disease following lethal EBOV challenge, while control animals died in 7-9 days. The studies described here are the first to demonstrate protection of guinea pigs and macaques with a single dose of highly attenuated rVSV expressing EBOVGP, and we believe that the N4CT1-EBOVGP1 vector has the essential safety and efficacy characteristics for use in a vaccine to prevent EBOV infection in humans and the great apes. ./cache/cord-001765-7wv4cb37.txt ./txt/cord-001765-7wv4cb37.txt
