Among the 5 structural proteins of the salmonid rhabdovirus viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), the glycoprotein G (gpG) is a unique immunogenic (immune response) and antigenic (antibody) inducer. While recombinant gpG proteins had limited success as vaccines, their corresponding gpG DNA have been highly protective in different fish species (most probably because that is the best way to maintain their epitopes, disulphide bonds and glycosilation).
