Study on immunogenicity of recombinant ferritin hemagglutinin of canine distemper virus [PDF]
Background Canine distemper virus (CDV) hemagglutinin protein (H), as one of the surface glycoproteins of the virus, helps attach the virus to the host cell through its interaction with cell receptors, makes hemagglutinin protein a key target for the ...
