Resistance to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) challenge induced by infection with a vaccinia virus recombinant expressing the RSV M2 protein (Vac-M2) is mediated by CD8+ T cells, while that induced by Vac-F or Vac-G recombinants is mediated by antibodies.

Abstract
It was previously demonstrated that the vaccinia virus recombinants expressing the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F, G, or M2 (also designated as 22K) protein (Vac-F, Vac-G, or Vac-M2, respectively) induced almost complete resistance to RSV challenge ...
