Abstract
A live, attenuated chimeric virus vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis virus comprising the preM and E structural genes of the tick-borne encephalitis Langat virus and the non-structural genes of the mosquito-borne dengue virus. The live chimeric vaccine was administered intraperitoneally and exhibited complete attenuation in mice while at the same time providing protection against subsequent challenge with the virulent parental Langat virus.
