2004 JUN 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- DNA-mediated vaccination with the VP2 capsid protein and chicken IL-2 genes provided partial protection against infectious bursal disease virus.

"Several DNA vaccination experiments were performed to determine the protective capability of a plasmid DNA molecule encoding the VP2 capsid protein gene of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) injected into chickens in the presence or absence of chicken interleukin 2 (IL-2) plasmid DNA. The results of these experiments indicate that partial protection against IBDV can be achieved by using the VP2 gene of IBDV as a DNA vaccine," scientists in the United States report.

"Furthermore, the simultaneous injection of chicken IL-2 plasmid DNA significantly increased the protection after challenge with the virulent strain," said Diane J. Hulse and Carlos H. Romero at the University of Florida. "It was also found that immunological tolerance may have been induced in one of the ...
