2003 APR 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- DNA vaccination with plasmids containing various fragments of large segment genome of infectious bursal disease virus protected chickens against disease.

"The present study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness in including VP2 gene of the large segment genome of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in the DNA vaccine for protection of chickens against infectious bursal disease (IBD). Different fragments of the large segment gene of IBDV standard challenge (STC) strain were successfully amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by cloning into a eukaryotic expression plasmid vector (pCR3.1) as DNA vaccines," researchers in the United States report.

"Transient expression of the encoded genes from various constructed plasmids was characterized in COS-7 cells by positive immunofluorescent staining with polyclonal or monoclonal antibody to IBDV," said Hua-Chen Chang and colleagues at Purdue University. "Chickens (1-day old) were intramuscularly injected with the individual plasmid three times at weekly intervals, challenged with IBDV strain STC at 21-day old, and observed for 10 days. Chickens receiving the plasmids containing VP2 genes, including VP243, VP24, or VP2 fragment, did not have clinical signs, mortality, and bursal atrophy and were effectively protected against IBDV infection.

"On the contrary, chickens receiving plasmids ...
