摘要:
A vaccine composition comprising a genetically attenuated bacterial strain which contains at least two mutations of the same phenotype which strain is rendered avirulent while retaining immunogenicity.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a mutant strain of B. bronchiseptica having chromosomal genetic markers carrying at least temperature-sensitive (grown at 42.degree. C.), nalidixic acid-resistant and heat-labile dermonecrotic toxin producing ability negative markers, suitable for the preparation of live attenuated AR vaccine, which comprises subjecting a strain of B. bronchiseptica to an induced mutation, isolating a mutant having the genetic markers of being at least temperature-sensitive (grown at 42.degree. C.), nalidixic acid-resistant and heat-labile dermonecrotic toxin negative, culturing the isolated strain of B. bronchiseptica on a Bordet-gengou agar plate containing nalidixic acid at 42.degree. C., thereafter picking up an organism morphologically resembling a phase-I organism, repeating the procedures of culturing and picking up, and converting the organisms to a heat-labile dermonecrotic toxin-producing ability negative phase-I organism having a complete capsular antigen.
摘要:
A method for the preparation of a new mutant strain of Bordetella bronchiseptica having a plural of hereditary chromosomal markers of at least temperature-sensitivity and urease negative, more particularly a phase I mutant strain of B. bronchiseptica having excellent immunity and high safety, which is useful for the preparation of a live attenuated vaccine for prophylaxis of B. bronchiseptica infection, and also a live attenuated vaccine prepared therefrom, and use thereof.
摘要:
Mutogenesis of the Clemson University (CU) vaccine strain of P. multocida with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine resulted in temperature sensitive (TS) mutants which grew at 37.degree. C. but not 42.degree. C. Two mutants, PM#1 and PM#3, were found to provide turkeys with a level of protection against challenge with a virulent serotype 3 P. multocida strain (P-1059) comparable to the protection provided by the CU strain. Intravenous (IV) inoculation of PM#1, PM#3, and CU was used to determine differences in virulence. PM#1 and PM#3 resulted in lower mortality and lameness than the CU strain. Histopathological evaluation of spleens at 24, 48, and 72 hours post IV inoculation demonstrated that the CU strain induced 2 times more splenic necrosis than either PM#1 or PM#3.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a vaccine composition for the prevention of infectious diseases comprising an immunogenically-effective amount of a genetically attenuated and stable avirulent bacterial strain derived from a virulent bacterial strain by introducing into said virulent strain by genetic transfer and recombination at least two mutations of the same phenotype which renders said virulent strain avirulent, while permitting said avirulent strain to retain immunogenicity, together with an inert pharmacologically acceptable carrier. It also relates to a method for preparing the vaccine.
摘要:
A live vaccine against Alcaligenes faecalis, for application to turkeys, containing a temperature-sensitive non-virulent genetically stable strain of Alcaligenes faecalis having good immunizing capabilities and the absence of adverse side-effects.
