Abstract
A pseudotype baculovirus with the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) on the envelope was used as a vector for the construction of recombinant baculovirus expressing the G protein of rabies virus (RABV) under the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. The generated recombinant baculovirus (BV-G) efficiently expressed the RABV G proteins in mammalian cells. Intramuscular vaccination with BV-G (10(9) PFU/mouse) induced the production of RABV G-specific neutralizing antibodies and strong T cell responses in mice. Our data clearly indicate that pseudotype baculovirus-mediated gene delivery can be utilized as an alternative strategy to develop a new generation of vaccine against RABV infection.
