In vivo, however, VSV M protein mutant proved to be only moderately attenuated in experimental infections [16, 21] , whereas there is currently no information available if recombinant VSV with truncated G protein is safe or not when animals challenged with high dose of the mutant virus. Based on pathogenicity and capabilities to stimulate potent immune responses, we aimed to identify a suitable recombinant VSV vaccine vector and vaccine candidate for preventing vesicular stomatitis disease. ./cache/cord-267712-mhx8e5y0.txt ./txt/cord-267712-mhx8e5y0.txt
