The present invention provides for a novel oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion, with increased stability in the presence of bacterial or viral suspensions, especially those concentrated and non-purified (crude extracts) or minimally purified. The emulsion of the present invention can act as vehicle for the delivery of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one immunogen and, in particular, an immunogen selected from the group consisting of an inactivated pathogen, an attenuated pathogen, a subunit, a recombinant expression vector, and a plasmid or combinations thereof.

The present disclosure provides a subunit vaccine of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia and preparation method and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of preparation of animal infectious disease vaccine. The combination of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae immunoproteins comprises Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae immunoproteins A, B, C, D and E; the mass ratio of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae immunoproteins A, B, C, D and E is (0.5-1.5): (0.5-1.5): (0.5-1.5): (0.5-1.5): (0.5-1.5). The subunit vaccine of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia comprises the combination of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae immunoproteins and adjuvant; the subunit vaccine has the advantages of high safety, good immunization effect, high stability and minor adverse effects.

An improved vaccine for immunization of waterfowl such as ducks and geese comprises an inactivated strain of a mycoplasma infecting waterfowl, such as Mycoplasma sp. strain 1220; the vaccine can include an excipient and an adjuvant. Methods for immunization of waterfowl with the vaccine are also described.

The present invention relates to a liquid composition of live Mollicutes bacteria and a stabiliser, whereby the stabiliser is a natural deep-eutectic solvent (NADES). In this liquid composition the live Mollicutes are stabilised without need for freezing or freeze-drying. This allows various advantageous uses in diagnostics and medicine, specifically as a liquid vaccine for use against infection or disease caused by Mollicutes bacteria, for human- or non-human animals.

The present invention provides combination vaccines that comprise an immunological agent effective for reducing the incidence of or lessening the severity of PPE caused by L. intracellularis, and one or more immunological active components effective in treatment and/or prophylaxis of at least one further disease-causing organism for swine. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a kit that comprises an immunological agent effective for reducing the incidence of or lessening the severity of PPE caused by L. intracellularis, and one or more immunological active components effective in treatment and/or prophylaxis of at least one further disease-causing organism for swine.

The present invention is directed to new compositions that are described for the simultaneous, controlled dose delivery of a variety of biomolecules into phagocytic cells. Such a composition is a biologically active composition comprising: (1) at least one of the following biologically active components: (a) a nucleic acid or a derivative thereof; (b) a nucleoside, nucleotide, or a derivative of a nucleoside or nucleotide; (c) a peptide, protein, or a derivative of a peptide or protein; (d) a lipopolysaccharide or a derivative thereof; (e) a peptidoglycan or a derivative thereof; (f) a carbohydrate or a derivative thereof; (g) a lipid or a derivative thereof; (h) a lipopeptide or a derivative thereof; (i) a metal ion; (j) a thiol; (k) an antibiotic or a derivative thereof; (I) a vitamin or a derivative thereof; (m) a bioflavonoid or a derivative thereof; (n) an antioxidant or a derivative thereof; (o) an immune response modifier; (p) an antibody; (q) a biologically active nonmetal; (r) histamine or an antihistamine; and (s) a kinase inhibitor; and (2) at least one carrier effective to deliver the composition to a phagocytic cell such that the biologically active component is taken up by the phagocytic cell and influences its biological activity.

The present invention pertains to a combination of a first vaccine comprising non-replicating immunogen of porcine circo virus type 2 (PCV2) and non-replicating immunogen of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, and a second vaccine comprising live attenuated porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus, for use in prophylactically treating an animal against an infection with porcine circovirus type 2, an infection with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and an infection with PRRS virus, by associated non-mixed administration of the first vaccine and the second vaccine to the animal. The invention also pertains to a kit-of-parts comprising the first and second vaccine and to a method of protecting an animal against such infections using these vaccines.

The present invention relates to a vaccine comprising an antigen of Lawsonia intracellularis and one or more antigens of at least one further pathogen selected from the group of porcine circovirus (PCV), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo.) and porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV), wherein the antigen of Lawsonia intracellularis is live Lawsonia intracellularis.

The present invention provides combination vaccines that comprise an immunological agent effective for reducing the incidence of or lessening the severity of PPE caused by L. intracellularis, and one or more immunological active components effective in treatment and/or prophylaxis of at least one further disease-causing organism for swine. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a kit that comprises an immunological agent effective for reducing the incidence of or lessening the severity of PPE caused by L. intracellularis, and one or more immunological active components effective in treatment and/or prophylaxis of at least one further disease-causing organism for swine.

This invention relates to adjuvant formulations comprising various combinations of triterpenoids, sterols, immunomodulators, polymers, and Th2 stimulators; methods for making the adjuvant compositions; and the use of the adjuvant formulations in immunogenic and vaccine compositions with different antigens. This invention further relates to the use of the formulations in the treatment of animals.
