Abstract:
A broad-spectrum vaccine against avian Reovirus is disclosed, which is effective in reducing the infection of avian Reovirus in an avian target. The vaccine comprises antigenic material derived from avian Reovirus of two genotype groups: 1 and 4, as defined herein. This vaccine is effective against all avian Reoviruses, homologous or heterologous to the vaccine, including recent virulent break-through strains.
Abstract:
The vaccine is prepared by mixing a reo virus containing liquid, obtained by cultivation of a reo virus, followed by inactivation of this liquid and optionally homogenising it, with a adeno like virus (ALV) containing liquid, obtained by cultivation of an ALV, followed by inactivation of this liquid and optionally homogenising it, and adding the mixture to an oily phase containing as essential components at least one of the components selected from the group consisting of light mineral paraffenic oils, plant oils and naphtenic mineral oils, and one or more emulsifiers, such as non-ionic surface-active compounds derived from alkylene oxide and/or hexahydric alcohols and/or higher natural fatty acids such as esters or ester-ethers optionally followed by homogenising and/or addition of a preservative.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to immunogenic compositions and methods for inducing an immune response against Piscine reoviruses in an animal. In another aspect, the invention relates to antibodies that bind Piscine reovirus poplypeptides. In yet another aspect, the invention relates to methods for preventing, or reducing PRV infection in an animal.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with means and methods for producing adenovirus particles comprising a chimeric adenovirus spike protein that essentially lacks a functional knob domain. One aspect of the invention is concerned with a method for producing adenovirus particles comprising providing cells that are permissive for adenovirus replication with an adenovirus vector, with nucleic acid encoding said chimeric adenovirus spike protein and with nucleic acid encoding at least one adenovirus E3 region protein or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue thereof, said method further comprising culturing said permissive cells to allow for at least one replication cycle of said adenovirus virus and harvesting said adenovirus particle.
Abstract:
Antigenic isolates and vaccines for Infectious Bursal Disease Virus include variants of the molecular Group 6 family of IBDV isolates, in particular the 28-1 isolate.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to novel methods for the treatment and/or prevention of neurological symptoms caused by an avian reovirus, enteric reovirus strain (ERS), and associated characteristics. Other embodiments generally comprise and immunogenic composition or vaccine comprising an ERS for the treatment and/or prevention of neurological symptoms.
Abstract:
Avian diseases, particularly those which threaten birds early in life, are controlled by embryonal vaccination using oil emulsion vaccines. The site of inoculation is the albumen end of the egg via entry through the air cell end of the egg.
Abstract:
A fusion protein is provided which is based on a self-assembling gene- regulatory NSP10 protein and a protein or peptide capable of being fused to NSP10 without interfering with the assembly or aggregation of the resulting fusion protein. The disclosure also relates to any nanoparticle formed thereby whether complete or not, and methods for the use of the NSP10 fusion protein are also disclosed, including use as vaccines for any indication in humans or animals, therapeutic methods involving the use of the fusion proteins such as using the protein to targeted an antibody or receptor, such as for treating or diagnosing cancer, biosensors using the fusion protein, or the use of the fusion proteins in cell sorting or any imaging application.

Abstract:
The present invention provides bivalent oral vaccines against infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV). Yeast cells comprise an expression vector comprising (i) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a VP2 capsid protein of IPNV and (ii) a polynucleotide sequence encoding one or more antigenic epitopes of hemaglutinin of ISAV. The yeast cells express sub-viral particles (SVP) comprising a VP2 capsid protein of IPNV and one or more antigenic epitopes of hemaglutinin of ISAV. The yeast cells and SVP may be administered in an effective amount to increase the amount of antibodies against IPNV and ISAV in the fish, preferably Salmonidae. The yeast cells and SVP may be in the form of fish food for administering to the fish orally.
