recombinant viruses containing the G protein of vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus (VSNJV),
but all other proteins from VSIV, induced protective immune responses against challenge with VSNJV. The N protein is a cross-reactive antigen used in complement fixation tests that help define members of the genus. Weak serological
cross-reactions may occur between viruses in different genera. One of the criteria used for vesiculovirus classification is cross-reactivity by complement fixation
