The present invention relates to the use of an immunogenic composition that comprises a porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) antigen for treatment of several clinical manifestations (diseases). Preferably, the clinical manifestations are associated with a PCV3 infection.

The present disclosure encompasses canine parvovirus (CPV) vaccines or compositions. The vaccine or composition may be a vaccine or composition containing CPV virus-like particle (VLP), and a preparation method and a use thereof. The CPV VLPs are formed by the CPV VP2 protein. Further, the disclosure broadly encompasses vaccines comprising combinations of MLV and VLP, which are capable of overcoming MDA against a variety of pathogens, which infect a variety of different species.

The present invention provides: a recombinant expression vector comprising a gene encoding a porcine parvovirus VP2 protein; a recombinant plant or a recombinant insect cell transformed with the vector; and a vaccine composition for a porcine parvovirus and a composition for diagnosing porcine parvovirus, both of which contain a porcine parvovirus VP2 protein obtained from the recombinant plant or the recombinant insect cell. When the recombinant plant or recombinant insect cell of the present invention is used, the porcine parvovirus antigenic protein can be produced with high efficiency, and the porcine parvovirus antigenic protein production method using the recombinant plant or recombinant insect cell has excellent safety and stability compared with other antigen production methods.

According to the invention, immunogenicity of an antigenic peptide is increased by administering a fusion protein, which comprises an antigenic peptide and an adjuvant protein, wherein the adjuvant protein comprises two or more proteins selected from the group consisting of a Shiga toxin 2e B subunit (Stx2eB), an Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin B subunit (LTB), and a cholera toxin B subunit (CTB). or a transformant transformed by a gene coding for the fusion protein.

The present invention provides vectors that contain and express in vivo or in vitro CDV polypeptides or antigens that elicit an immune response in animal against CDV, compositions comprising said vectors and/or CDV polypeptides, and methods of vaccination against CDV. The invention further provides methods for inducing an immunogenic or protective response against CDV and other canine virus, as well as methods for preventing or treating CDV and other canine virus or disease state(s) caused by CDV and other canine virus.

A method of improving a human's response to vaccination with a vaccine enhancement food. This food contains at least transfer factor and lactic acid generating bacteria, and in some embodiments includes glucans. The vaccine enhancement food may be consumed before, during, or after the vaccination. The results are an improvement in the vaccine titer, a slower decay of titer, longer periods of immunity, and fewer needed boosters.

The present disclosure provides technologies comprising compositions, preparations, constructs, and methods comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide.

The present invention relates to a porcine parvovirus (PPV) viral protein 2 (VP2) having at amino acid position 228 a glutamic acid residue or a glutamate residue, and/or at amino acid position 414 a serine residue, and/or at amino acid position 419 a glutamine residue, and/or at amino acid position 436 a threonine residue. Further, the present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising said PPV viral protein 2 (VP2). Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for immunizing a subject comprising administering to such subject the immunogenic composition of the present invention. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing clinical signs caused by PPV infection in a subject of need, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an immunogenic composition according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to the field of CAdV vector vaccines, and especially to promoters suitable to express target antigens from such vector vaccines. Disclosed and claimed are recombinant canine adenoviruses, methods of making them, uses for them (including in immunological, immunogenic, vaccine or therapeutic compositions, or, as a vector for cloning, replicating or expressing DNA and methods of using the compositions and vector), expression products from them, and uses for the expression products. Additionally, disclosed and claimed are truncated EHV4 promoters, expression cassettes containing the promoters, and recombinant viruses and plasmids containing the promoters or expression cassettes.

This disclosure provides an attenuated palmiped parvovirus that affords heterologous protection for both Muscovy duck parvovirus and goose parvovirus (i.e., Derzsy's Disease). The disclosure further provides compositions comprising the same, and methods of production and use thereof.
