Projectomschrijving

Equine herpesvirus type 1 or EHV-1 is a constant treat to horses worldwide. Rationally modifying genes which are involved in immune modulation, and elucidating the effects of such modifications on the degree of immune protection, are indispensable for the design and generation of efficacious and safe modified live vaccines against infections with EHV-1.
