SEROTYPE-SPECIFIC AND HAEMADSORPTION PROTEIN OF THE AFRICAN SWINE FEVER VIRUS by Alexey D. Sereda, Anna S. Kazakova, Ilnaz R. Imatdinov, Denis V. Kolbasov

“…Genotyping on the basis of the genetic locus encoding the CD2v and a C-type lectin protein also showed a concurrence with the grouping of ASFV isolates and strains based on their seroimmunotypes. Immunization of pigs with the gp 110-140 within liposomes, or a recombinant haemagglutinin (CD2v) protected 67 to 100% of animals from death due to their subsequent infection with homologous virulent ASFV strains. …”
