2004 AUG 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Glycol chitosan improves the efficacy of intranasally administrated replication defective human adenovirus type 5 expressing glycoprotein D of bovine herpesvirus 1.

According to published research from Belgium, "The ability of two soluble formulations, namely chitosan and glycol chitosan, when used as an intranasal adjuvant, to improve the immunogenicity of an intranasal human adenovirus type 5 replication defective expressing bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) glycoprotein D based vaccine, was investigated in cattle. Their adjuvant effects on immune response by increasing clinical and especially virological protection against an intranasal BoHV-1 challenge were then evaluated."

"The best virological protection was obtained in calves immunized with the vaccine vector adjuvanted with glycol chitosan which decreased the challenge BoHV-1 virus excretion titers by 0.5-1.5 log when compared to those obtained in calves immunized with the vaccine vector alone or adjuvanted with chitosan," said Sacha Gogev and colleagues at the University of Liege and KitoZyme S.A. "A slight difference in clinical scores was observed in calves immunized with the adjuvanted vaccine vector compared to calves immunized with the ...
