- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $300,000 grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Oklahoma State University (OSU) to develop a novel single-cycle vaccine against bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). The project aims to pioneer the development of two single-cycle BRSV vaccine prototypes: an 'MNull' vaccine that lacks the essential matrix protein, and a 'PRef' vaccine with a modified fusion protein. OSU will evaluate the immunogenicity...
