“…Another report by Thomas Kaever et al (2016), described that inoculation with vaccinia virus (VACV) elicits neutralizing antibodies against major antigens, including A27, A33, B5, D8, H3, and L1 on both the extracellular enveloped virus (EV) and the intracellular mature virion (MV or IMV), conferring protection against smallpox [ 19 ]. Additionally, Hurisa et al (2021), have compared the immunogenicity of three Capripoxvirus proteins; GTPV A 27R, GTPV L1R, and SPPV A 33R proteins, and reported that GTPV A 27R protein showed a better detection ability and can be used for the detection of antibodies produced against Capripoxvirus in sera of animals [ 22 ]. Furthermore, M. Dashprakash et al (2019), reported the diagnostic efficacy of rA27L of GTPV in an indirect ELISA and showed its high specificity, as it was highly reactive with anti-GTPV and anti-SPPV sera but not with antisera against other related viruses of sheep and goats [ 25 ].…”
