Vaccine, vectors and methods of using the vaccine vectors to enhance the immune response to an Apicomplexan parasite and reduce the morbidity or mortality associated with subsequent infection are provided herein. The vaccine vectors include a polynucleotide encoding a Rhomboid polypeptide and optionally include an immune-stimulatory polypeptide suitably expressed on the surface of the vaccine vector.

The instant invention provides various formulations comprising combinations of immunostimulating oligonucleotides, polycationic carriers, sterols, saponins, quaternary amines, TLR-3 agonists, glycolipids, and MPL-A or analogs thereof in oil emulsions, use thereof in preparations of immunogenic compositions and vaccines, and use thereof in the treatment of animals.

The present invention relates to an immunity enhancing composition including an immune response modulator having a novel structure and, more specifically, to an immunity enhancing composition and a use of the same, wherein the immunity enhancing composition includes a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) analogue with reduced toxicity, and a cationic liposome. The present invention overcomes the physicochemical instability of a liposome, is advantageous in terms of production, transportation, and storage, and improves stability, thus being beneficial as an immune delivery system. In addition, the present invention includes an immune response modulator, and a cationic liposome, and thus exhibits an enhanced immunity-improving effect compared to the case in which an immune response modulator is used alone.

The present invention relates to new protein compositions, methods for producing said protein compositions, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said protein compositions and methods for treating infections caused by Neospora caninum. In particular, the present invention relates to a protein composition comprising the proteins specified in Table A in an amount of at least about 2 times (fold change) higher than the same protein present in the whole tachyzoite, as calculated by quantitative label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
