Evaluation of Lyophilization on Efficacy of African Swine Fever Vaccine Candidate ASFV-G-DI177L
This study was to evaluate the ability of the vaccine to be lyophilized, and the stability of the vaccine under different storage conditions.

In this study we aimed to identify proteins in ASFV using serum containing antibodies from animals with live-attenuated vaccinated animals, that could be used as targets for a serological assay to differentiate between vaccinated and infected animals, these identified proteins were attempted to be deleted from a field isolate of highly pathogenic ASFV, to determine if they could be deleted.
