`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
`
`Figuret FIGS. 1A—1B: Schematic representation of 1) PELAV-YFV17D-LASV-GPC(FIG. 1A)
`
`and 2) PLLAV-YFV17D-LASV-GPCcs (FIG. 1B).
`
`Figure FIGS. 2A-2B: FIG.2A) Plaque phenotype of YFV17D-LASV-GPC compared to
`
`YFV17D. FIG.2B) Virus stability: RT-PCR analysis of the virus samples harvested during serial
`
`passaging (in BHK-21J and VeroE6) of the YFV17D-LASV-GPC virus. C+, control positive
`
`PLLAV-YFV17D-LASV-GPC; -RT: RT-PCR reaction without reverse transcriptase; RNA: RT-
`
`PCRreaction with the virus RNA.
`
`Figure-3 FIG. 3: Schematic vaccination schedule. AG129 mice were vaccinated with PLLAV-
`
`YFV17D-LASV-GPC(25 ug,i.p.) or YFV17D-LASV-GPC (375 PFU).

`
`Figure4 FIGS. 4A-4B: Analysis of cellular immunity in vaccinated AG129 mice. FIG. 4A)
`
`Representative IFN-y ELISPOT wells after 48 hours of stimulation of splenocytes with the
`
`indicated antigen. FIG. 4B) Spots per six hundred thousand splenocytes in IFN-y ELISPOTafter
`
`48 hours of stimulation with the indicated antigen. For each mouse, samples were analyzed in
`
`duplicates and values are normalized by subtracting the number of spots in control wells
`
`(ovalbumin stimulated).
`
`Figure-5 FIGS. SA-5B: FIG.5A) Plaque phenotype of YFV17D-LASV-GPCcs compared to
`
`
`
`YFV17D. FIG.5B) Co-expression of LASV-GPC and YFV_antigens detected by
`
`
`
`immunofluorescence of BHK21J cells infected with supernatantof cells transfected with PLLAV-
`
`YFV17D-LASV-GPCcs .Cells were fixed 48h post-infection and stained for LAV-GPC(red) and
`
`YFV (green).
`
`Figure-6 FIGS. 6A—6B: FIG.6A) Schematic vaccination schedule. AG129 mice were vaccinated
`
`subcutaneous (SC) with YFV17D-LASV-GPCcs (250 PFU). FIG.6B) Analysis of cellular
`
`immunity in vaccinated AG129 mice. Representative IFN-gamma ELISPOT wells after 48 hours
`
`splenocyte stimulation with the indicated antigen. Spots per six hundred thousand splenocytes in
`
`IFN-gamma ELISPOTafter 48 hours of stimulation with the indicated antigen. For each mouse,
`
`samples were analyzed in duplicates and values are normalized by subtracting the numberof spots
`
`in control wells (ovalbumin peptide stimulated).
