摘要:
The present invention relates to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) mutant strains having increased stability; compositions containing the strains or antigens derived therefrom; vaccines containing the strains, including killed, attenuated or subunit vaccines; nucleic acids encoding PRRSV polypeptides, polypeptides encoded by the nucleic acids, including antigenic fragments thereof; antibodies which specifically bind to said polypeptides, and methods making and using thereof.
摘要:
An immunogenic composition or vaccine, and method of treatment are provided by the present invention. The immunogenic composition is useful for treating, preventing, and lessening the severity of clinical symptoms associated with disease-causing organisms in swine, utilizing one or more Porcine Teschovirus antigen(s) along with an antigen of the other disease-causing organism in swine and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The present invention provides a composition and an improved single dose vaccine against E. rhusiopathiae and an improved single dose vaccine against E. rhusiopathiae and H. parasuis which provides one or more of the following: 1) confers effective immunity against E. rhusiopathiae and/or H. parasuis; 2) decreases the risk of developing clinical signs of E. rhusiopathiae and/or H. parasuis infection; 3) induces an immune response against E. rhusiopathiae and/or H. parasuis; and 4) has a DOI against E. rhusiopathiae and/or H. parasuis of at least four months. The composition or E. rhusiopathiae vaccine as well as the combined E. rhusiopathiae-H. parasuis composition or vaccine each includes a bacterial component of inactivated E. rhusiopathiae bacteria and a suitable adjuvant. The combined E. rhusiopathiae-H. parasuis composition or vaccine further includes an amount of H. parasuis antigen. The vaccines can be administered to animals in any conventional manner. The amount of the dose for intramuscular administration is preferably less than 5 ml. The amount of E. rhusiopathiae and/or H. parasuis antigen in each dose should be enough to induce an immune response in the animal receiving the vaccine or composition and will preferably confer effective immunity against and decrease the risk of developing clinical signs resulting from E. rhusiopathiae and/or H. parasuis infection for a suitable duration of immunity.

摘要:
The present invention relates to Lawsonia intracellularis vaccines and methods for protecting against and diagnosing L. intracellularis infection. The products and processes of the invention are attainable, in part, as the result of an improved method for cultivating large scale supplies of L. intracellularis, including both a novel isolate of L. intracellularis of European origin and a method of preparing a lyophilized product containing the attenuated European isolate as vaccine product.
