Broiler breeder vaccination against IBD is usually based on the injection of at least one inactivated vaccine in oil adjuvant, typically included in a combined vaccine. Priming using one or several IBD vaccine (s) has been the most common way to immunize the breeders so far. In summary, protection against vvIBD challenge in chicks of one commercial genetic line vaccinated in ovo with the HVT-IB...

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was cloning and expression of rabies virus glycoprotein by a eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) in BSR cell line. This construct might be used for a potential DNA vaccine. Materials and Methods: Glycoprotein gene was synthesized and cloned into pBluescript vector and then sub cloned into eukaryotic expression vector (pcDNA3.1(+)). After verifica...

Avian Pasteurella multocida is an agent of fowl cholera. The protective effect achieved through orthodoxvaccines is not ideal. The research on novel vaccines against avian Pasteurella multocida is imperative. Inthis study, the genes encoding outer membrane protein H and A (OmpH and OmpA) were cloned into theeukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) and the recombinant plasmids, namely DNA vaccin...

Background & objective:  Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of death around the world. Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) is the only vaccine used in TB prevention that has a protective effect in children, but its effectiveness declines in adults. Design and development of new vaccines is the most effective way against TB. The aim of this study was to design and construc...

Background and Aims: In humans the group A rotaviruses are associated with endemic diarrhea in children under the age of 5, leading to approximately 800,000 deaths every year. Introduction of rotavirus vaccines into childhood immunization programs can contribute to substantial reduction in mortality from rotavirus gastroenteritis in developing countries and virtually eliminating hospitalization...

Viral vaccine vectors have shown to be effective in inducing a robust immune response against the vaccine antigen. Newcastle disease virus (NDV), an avian paramyxovirus, is a promising vaccine vector against human and veterinary pathogens. Avirulent NDV strains LaSota and B1 have long track records of safety and efficacy. Therefore, use of these strains as vaccine vectors is highly safe in avia...

  The identification of a large number of antigens with potential for development of new tuberculosis vaccine has been accomplished in recent years. This study was designed for cloning and expression of ESAT-6 as a potent antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Selected gene (Rv3875) was amplified by PCR and product was ligated into expressing plasmid vector pQE30 and recombinant pQE30-ES plasmi...

Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of many nosocomial and community acquired infections. According to many reports, antibiotic therapy can not guarantee the eradication of S. aureus infections. Thus designing an adhesin based vaccine could restrain the S. aureus infections. This study designed for construction of a new fusion protein vaccine against S. aureus infections base...

leishmaniasis is a major infectious disease of considerable public health in more than 86 countries around the world. several approaches toward vaccine development against this disease have been taken. glycoprotein (gp63) is conserved among diverse species of leishmania and has induced immunological responses in murine models. therefore, this glycoprotein has been considered as a second generat...
