摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of Borrelia infection. Particularly, the present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a hybrid C-terminal fragment of an outer surface protein A (OspA), a nucleic acid coding the same, an antibody specifically binding the same, a pharmaceutical composition (particularly for use as a medicament or in a method of treating or preventing a Borrelia infection) comprising the polypeptide and/or the nucleic acid and/or the antibody, a method of treating or preventing a Borrelia infection and a method of immunizing a subject.

The invention relates to three isolated DNA molecules that encode for proteins, BigL1, BigL2 and BigL3, in the Leptospira sp bacterium which have repetitive Bacterial-Ig-like (Big) domains and their use in diagnostic, therapeutic and vaccine applications. According to the present invention, the isolated molecules encoding for BigL1, BigL2 and BigL3 proteins are used for the diagnosis and prevention of infection with Leptospira species that are capable of producing disease in humans and other mammals, including those of veterinary importance.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions administered to the lymphatic tissue of an animal to prevent or reduce the incidence of disease or disease symptoms caused by one or more disease causing entities. Tonsillar compositions can be administered to the lymphatic tissue in the oral/nasal region of the animal and can include avian antibodies from eggs of hens inoculated with one or more target disease causing entities. Treating the lymphatic tissue in the oral/nasal region with the compositions described herein can reduce or prevent the disease causing entities from adhering to the lymphatic tissue resulting in reduced infection rates. The present disclosure also relates to oral compositions that can be used to reduce or eliminate oral pathogens in animals.
摘要:
Antigenic polypeptides comprising linear immunodominant epitopes of Borrelia outer surface protein A (OspA) or Borrelia outer surface protein C (OspC) are useful as vaccines against Lyme disease, and as diagnostics for detecting Borrelia infections. The OspA and OspC antigenic polypeptides typically comprise a plurality of peptides representing epitope containing regions from multiple distinct phyletic groups. The antigenic polypeptides may also include epitopes from both Borrelia OspA and Borrelia OspC.

The present invention relates to proteins and/or fragments and derivatives thereof and their use as vaccines and in biotechnological methods. The vaccines particularly include immunogenic proteins in Treponema spp. isolated from digital dermatitis in cattle. The present invention further relates to antibodies raised against said proteins or fragments thereof, and the use of said proteins in diagnostic methods in which antibodies are detected as a sign of digital dermatitis in cattle.
